cheap
and good
well, we have spent the past week in buenos aires. christmas was a great time, with large grass-fed argentine steak, plenty of good red wine and wonderful company. simonīs cold abated sufficiently to allow the tasting of the great food and we all enjoyed the local cemetary (well, HERE cemetaries are cool) and some beautiful city parks and bohemian neighborhoods. simon is already talking about how we might be abe to manage living here one day (uh oh - not really)
we did a lot of shopping in the beautiful street market, and saw some ancient people dancing tango (who are actually pictured in our 2 year old lonely planet)
lindsey went to see the boca stadium (yes, jon, itīs amazing) al is now on his luxury buisiness flight back home before spending a few weeks of blissful laziness before beginning his 2 year volunteer stint in africe with VSO (well done)
Stadio Boca Juniors
. he was very popluar with the argentine women here, and on his next trip i am sure they will try even harder to win his favours.... we have a bus booked this evening to iguazu falls where we willl be spending the new year in a "luxury" hostel (drinking and eating and swimming in the pool) this is where nicola 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 drink in your honour (and then you can have a drink in ours (and then we....) well, you get the picture, right? HAPPY NEW YEAR and all.
after iguazu we hope to see the panatel ( maybe replace some of our rainforest pictures), then spend a few weeks in uruguay on the beach so you in england (having winter) and you in canada (having CRAZY winter) will basically be as jealous as hell of our beautiful brownness
