... illusion I'm some kind of VIP. Naturally I felt like a big fat fraud but kept tight-lipped. Which I didn’t, of course, I gibbered happily like a baboon as is my way. We were swiftly ushered up to our beautiful suite after a tour of the hotel. “This is where the royal family hosted their parties in the early part of the twentieth century,” our butler informed us, “this is the private art ...

... So rather than go to the milonga that lasted to 4 a.m. I went to bed! :-)<br><br>Now back to the trip. Here are some of the things we have done:<br><br>Saturday, October 31:<br><br>Saturday is known as date night so Gary and I went out for dinner and then to Lo de Celia. It is a club that has a lot of old milongueros with sweet, meaningful dances. But it is the only night where it is acceptable to dance with one person all night ...

... ich meinen Fotobag abgestellt hätte und mir die Bescherung auf meiner Jacke angesehen hätte - nur wäre dann schwups Mann und Fotobag auf ewig verschwunden gewesen ... Wie sich später herausstellte, sind einige meiner Schiffsmitreisenden auf den üblen Trick reingefallen und "erleichtert" worden!<br> <br>Für die Tage vor meiner Einschiffung auf der MS Fram steige ich im Stadtteil San Telmo im B&amp;B "La Antigua Casa de Brigit", einem von der Schweizerin ...

... the big guady Vegas type shows. I prefer going to where the locals go, however, they all start after midnight and we have not found the energy to stay up that late. We did go to one of the best Tango shows, La Ventana! I have to say that this one was excellent. It only made me want to learn to dance Tango even more. I was suprised that they let you video tape the show, so I will try to upload a small video!<br><br>Last ...

... good condition and landscaped and the industry was in new steel buildings rather than brick and concrete. <br><br>As the sun rose the city center came into view, apartments reaching for the sky and in the downtown avenues and avenues of elegant light coloured Paris style apartments. I had been warned the area around the combined bus and train station was dangerous and yes it was surprising to see slums just hundreds of meters from ...

... 2pm after lying awake half the night in frustration. In this instance, the blackout blinds we love so much were a bit of a curse because they did not help us one little bit to overcome the time difference. And then there were the jackhammers. They were demolishing a building across the street and our vantage point on the 9th floor allowed great views, and ...

... substantially and we were all excited at the prospect of being stranded for a week. Otherwise it was a lazy day, we wandered up the canal to where it disappears in the reeds, admiring the abundance of wild lilies on the way - beautiful! Toni cooked up the leftover asado into an amazing pasta dish for lunch, Blair and Patrick went for a swim in the flood, and we slowly contemplated the thought of leaving our little paradise. By the time we ...

... hour and a half! Our "getting to know you" session of the Emmaus directors in Argentina began at 8:45 and we were served a supper of cream cheese, tomato, and ham sandwiches, Argentinian empanadas, and pastries about 10:30 p.m. There are currently 3 men working as Emmaus directors in various parts of the country and one who is planning to start Emmaus in his region. The men (two with their wives) were from Cordoba, La Pampa, Chubut (Patagonia ...

... well as construct buildings for Nazarene affiliated efforts. Shortly after my arrival, I joined Charlie to meet up with the dental group for lunch at a pizza joint. I met up with everyone at lunch where we ate and got caught up. We then returned to the the temporary clinic which was located in Barrio Toro, a very pour neighborhood outside of Pilar.

We realize soon that what they are doing is recycling paper, glass and metals, (no blue box program in BA...no need).
