This week has been a giant blur of sounds of BsAs. On Tuesday, I went to a free concert of the Orquestra de Tango de Buenos Aires, which was fantastic. It was a full orchestra doing really great tango songs, mostly without a singer, but a couple with a man who sang very well. The first piece was called Estaciones de Buenos Aires, about the four ...

Eifach demit ihr en Ahnig ueberchoemmed mit wem und wie ich da z-Buenos Aires laeb... ich han ganz tolli luet bimer, wo uf mich ufpassed.

Hi there, I´ve not been able to update for some time as we´ve generally been in towns with little or no internet access for the last week or so, so there´ll be a few blogs on the way to make up for everything in the middle...so don´t read them all at once!!!! Well I´ll start with the first installment of our stay in Buenos Aires and a trip to th...

Buenos Aires. I have no idea how long I have been here. I seem to have done everything and nothing all at once! I got the bus up from Trelew which was only 1h late ariving so I was indeed on a bus for 55 hours out of the past 60! I had a granny talking to me the whole way up here but as on my journey up to Trelew she gave me all her food. Betwe...

Partial to a week or 2 of tennis on the sofa when a grand slam comes round, I was gifted tickets to the Davis Cup in BA as a bday present, Argie v the auld enemy. Parque Roca is located in the barrio of Villa Soldati, an impoverished spot with the stadium fringes being slums termed 'BILLAS'. Sponsors had huge tents surrounded by scantily clad ch...

Buenos Aires is HOT! The past few days here it's been on average 37 degrees and the humidity is sick! Needless to say, even the 3 showers a day that I've been averaging hasn't helped matters much. But I suppose I shouldn't complain, seeing as how it's -20 degrees back home right now... Neeltje and I arrived in Buenos Aires after a total of 45 ho...

Wow, the last two days have been completely packed, and rather dramatic. For the sake of making the most sense i´ll start from the beginning and try to relate everything that happened... So first off, my computer. As i briefly already mentioned...it was stolen. But it gets better. I was sitting in Persicco, my most favoritest ice cream place/ ca...

Hey everyone...I realize it has been quite awhile since my last entry...sorry for the delay, but now I have lots to talk about. I arrived in Buenos Aires from La Paz, Bolivia on November 20th to begin my volunteer program with the Buenos Aires Zoo. I ignorantly neglected to inform the people running the program of my arrival details so I spent t...

On the 3rd of March we flew from Costa Rica to Buenos Aires where we met up with our friends Ciara and Ruth. It was really great to see them and we spend the next 10 days or so doing nothing but partying, eating great food and basking in all that Buenos Aires had to offer. (Niamh even tried her hand at tangoing, unfortunately the photo was taken...

well i'm exhausted and really want to get to bed, but i just had to tell a funny story-- so after school today i decided that i was going to go to this yoga class at this gym that's in the big shopping center in alto palermo. but tia peinesa wants to meet me for a cafe there. she wasn't very clear on when or where, but i figured i'd figure it ou...
