Tritone Buenos Aires

... and made the most of it. Its was only a small locals fruit and vege market, with odd knick knacks as well and we bought some mate equipment and some fruit but I´m not kidding when I say it was absolutely horrible weather and my toes had gone numb so insisted we got a bus back to town as soon as possible. I´ve still got a lingering cold, but am trying not to let it keep me back. After the enormous bus ride back to town I warmed up in another famous old Tango ...

... was born 150 years ago in Moravia, now in the Czech Republic. According to his biographers, it was when he was training to be a doctor when he stumbled upon the theories of hypnosis and hysteria that were to lead him into a study of the human mind that would shake the foundations of Western thought. It's hard to believe now that there was ever a time when we didn't believe that childhood experience had a powerful effect on our adult life, that our dreams ...

... the school and went to the theater class. We were a bit late but we were lucky that we were the only people there. After that class we stayed at the school and played Ping Pong and Foosball. After that we went to the Subway for 3 stops and walked home from Italia Plaza. After we got home I played, had dinner and went to bed!

... ski resort in the winter months) the tourists vastly outnumber the locals, which means there are plenty of restaurants, bars and shops open through out the day, but also makes it impossible to go anywhere without running into a tour group; a problem which I haven´t encountered until now.

So, on Monday afternoon I caught my bus for the 22 hour journey to Buenos Aires. The longest ...

... San Telmo. Tussen de prachtige gebouwen door, hadden zich honderden marktkooplieden zich op de pitoreske straatstenen neergevleid met een uitgebreid assortiment van vooral dingen die je niet eens op je eigen zolder wilt verstoppen, maar her en der waren er ook hele mooie dingen bij. Jammer alleen dat je zo weinig mee kunt nemen. Wel hebben we een hele mooie ring voor Lisenka gekocht. Grappig dat in die enorme massa van stalletjes (ik denk dat de markt toch gauw ...

... plenty of craft markets to tempt my inability to stick to a budget, and of course we are still surrounded by beautiful people and a beautiful language. Its all very pleasing to look and listen wherever you go. Saturday afternoon consisted of exploring La Recoleta Cemetery, in the ´wealthy´ suburb of Recoleta.. famous for being the burial place of the much loved Eva Peron (otherwise known as Evita). So of course we sought her out first, which wasn't too hard ...

... things and again people just dancing tango on the street. We also tried the local speciality, the asado, which basically stands for barbecued meat. We basically got served up half a cow each with ribs a-plenty (not normally my thing but when in Buenos Aires....). The meat itself was alright but what made it special was another local speciality, chimichurri, which is basically some kind of chilli sauce that was sent from the Gods - it was amazing!!! To ...

And yet, it's weighing on me.

... and darren met and simon has already warned lindsey not to get any fancy ideas about upcoming mariages, as has she similarly warned him (so relax mums, your grandchildren are still miles off in this case) we both wish we could share this time with our various friends and family members back home, but we hope to have a drink in your honour (and then you can have a drink in ours) and then we will have a ...

... the first game I attended when I tried to make a break for the exit in injury time to beat the mad scrum for the bus , the gates outside were locked and there was a row of riot police waiting who kept us there for about 30 minutes. Being a bit taller than most Argentinians and standing at the front near the police made things interesting when the supporters were getting impatient and starting to throw objects at the police from the back. Aswell as the matches I ...
