Cabanas Espera 502 Buenos Aires

... sure he wouldn't do that, he works, he earns money, he has morals. The girls mother was with her and asked if she could look in Angel's bag, I explained to Angel what she wanted to do as he doesn't speak English. He said it was ok, so she rummaged all through his bag, then she looked at me and asked to look in my bag! Of course I allowed her. I tried to explain that I thought it near to impossible that Angel would have taken it, I found out directions for the police ...

... 122 to pick up our tix which was a LONG walk down the corridor.

We then walked over to the main Retiro neighborhood which is kind of upscale and ritzy. Most of the buildings there look European, which further strengthens our belief that Buenos Aires citizens consider themselves Euro and not South American. Most of the restaurants are European, the streets and buildings look Euro, and the people dress like they are in Paris. We went to a Thai restaurant (pretty ...

... river, nice and peaceful, saw an alligator! Then a nature truck ride through the jungle. I was so excited to see a toucan, but alas, no bloody toucans to see! And then, the last bit of the day, we jumped in to a jet boat which took us right up to the falls. To say we were a bit damp is an understatement! We were soaking wet! But the sun had come out, we got some great shots, rainbows around the waterfalls, they look amazing, can´t wait to ...

... wealthy Josefina de Alvear, the granddaughter of Argentine Independence-era leader Carlos María de Alvear. While living in Paris in 1911, Mr. and Mrs. Errazúriz hired a French architect and began construction of a magnificent mansion in Buenos Aires. As evidence of the grandeur of their home, and the resources that they lavished upon it, the Errazúriz's commissioned the foremost sculptor in the world, Auguste Rodin to design the fireplace mantle. Unfortunately, the ...

... like a canteena that was full of locals rather than some posh place designed for tourists. We ordered a bottle of red wine, and bottle of coke and a steak each. I had mine with steamed veg and a side order of mash (as I hadn't had mash in 4 months). The meal was lovely but I think the chef had slipped with the salt when he was doing the mash as it was really salty and ruined the whole mash experience for me. After dinner we ...

... of St. Patricks Day, Stevie`s club (aptly named Hurling) were having a St. Patricks Party that night so where better to finish the night out than there. Photos lead me to believe it was a good night. Sunday, I awoke with a hangover that felt like the whole 2 weeks rolled into one. Physically I haven`t felt this bad since the morning I awoke after the marathon when I genuinely believed I had been run over by a car during the night. Comparisons were ...

... unloading ships a few years ago. They supposedly did not have enough money to paint their houses, so they used whatever left over paint they could find and so their houses were painted of multiple colors. Today it is still a working class neighbourhood, mostly famous for its football team, but with a couple of streets prepped up for tourists coming in tour busses for an ...

... incredibly stuffy so that was the end of that idea...) I have also caught up with my porteña friend Adriana a couple of times, which has been good- even if we end up speaking the world´s craziest mix of spanish, english and ukrainian (at times, all in one sentence.) But other than that, things have stayed pretty much the same: uni every day, homework almost every spare waking minute and intense humidity/heat! Actually, i didnt think it could be possible, but uni has ...

... 1 owner of 2 bikes give us the forecast problems... we just don't know until we get there. Pierpaolo's friend Giulio is accompanying us, and in the absence of a babysitter being available Matias and Micaela squeeze in the car with us to joining us for a merry day of bureaucracy and frustration. Should be interesting! Initial telephone call to customs tells us that the bikes have been registered and landed, and for the princely sum of 548 Pesos we can clear them and do as we so ...

... the last two I had to stay in a dorm with 5 other people. It was actually very fun - every night people gathered on the roof to hang out and it was an eclectic mix of young people from all over the world. I learned a lot about the economy in Finland and pop culture in Brazil. Me encanta BUENOS AIRES Here are the highlights: - Love me some Boca: I LOVED ...
