It was sad to leave La Cumbre, so I buried my head into my book and decided not to think about it. After all I had to worry about my bus making to BA through all the road blocks, my flight was leaving in less than 30 hours from now. So here is whats going on. The government had announced about 3 weeks ago that they would be increasing the export...

Every Sunday in the San Telmo neighborhood, there is a HUGE fair with vendors all up and down Defensa street. Because it gets ridiculously crowded an easy way of getting there is to take a subway (Subte) to the Plaza de Mayo area and just walk down Defensa from there. As you are looking at the Casa Rosada, Defensa will be on your right. The good...

Today we took it easy after a heavy duty party night in Plaza Serrano last night.

I awake to a city that is alive. My first view of the real BA. I wander around the Recoleta Cemetery. Amazingly elaborate tombs. Eva Peron's is the most popular but pretty plain. The oldest go back to mid-1800s but the most interesting are early 1900s. Each is very different. Most are meant for general viewing on the inside with glass doors or w...

Jeannie here. This is our third day in Buenos Aires. Sean is loving the steak - yesterday´s lunch saw him polish off a huge one (it arrived overhanging the sizeable plate). I´m still trying to figure out my way around the city and some manageable way of adjusting to the crazy schedule (most are at work at 9, take a siesta from 2-4, get off work ...

We began our stay in the "Capital Federal" (what people here call Buenos Aires) in trendy Palermo. Lots of fashionable restaurants filled with beautiful people; needless to say that we felt a little out of place in our scummy traveler clothes. We were quite down on our first night (Sunday) in the city. The realisation that our flight back to rea...

It was a cold and wet day in Buenos Aires when I got my first serious thoughts about going to Brazil. I'd been talking to a girl at the hostel about Brazil eariler in the afternoon while admitting the local weather was getting me down. "Maybe I should go to Brazil?" I said, and her eyes lit up and she started to recommend places to go and beache...

Happy birthday to me and my god what a lot of rain. Holy ****, the rain started sometime early this morning and continued most of the day until about 5:30. It was still an amazing day though. Today the goal was to get to Plaza de los dos Gongresos. We worked our way north through random streets in san telmo until we got to Plaza de Mayo again an...

Started the day with more tango lessons, this time on my own. Worked out lots of moves, ganchos, forward and backward ochos, and nice walking steps to get out of logjams. I just allowed my feet to move, instead of trying to remember each paso, because the dance is so deep in my body. I'm very surprised, actually. It also helps to have such a won...
