Hey lads! A short update to let you know that we have been enjoying two days of Buenos Aires and its many charms. It is a huge city with a population of 13 million. It is dazzling in many ways, with loads of things to offer; from amazing neighbourhoods with a touch of french architecture and old-time style to bustling new areas full of trendy shops, cafes and restaurants. It has a suitable place for everyone. Doubtless it has more in common with the European cities than with the South-American ones. Its coffee and food culture it is so wide and tempting. From fresh croissants, cake shops and tasting coffees for breakfast to delicious fresh pasta or giant stakes for lunch or dinner, we will definitely put up some weight before flying back home. Ohhhh and a mention a part should go for the Argentinian ice-creams, uff the best ones we have ever tried! So creamy and tasty.
Today we went for a stroll to La Boca, and old fishermen and warehouse workers neighbourhood that was transformed in a cultural and artistic area during the 50´s. Its colourful houses and lively streets are unique, really authentic.
We barely have any Xmas feelings around here lads! Might be because of the weather, so hot, or because we are far away from home or because here we do not come across many Xmas references, but anyway, Santa has been pretty generous with us! We got a brand new tent that will come quite handy in Patagonia and its National Parks.
Tomorrow we will head south to Villa Gessell, a town by the beach were we will meet up some old friends and share a few days and meals with them. They will be our family for Xmas!
Enjoy the next days! Happy Xmas and the best wishes for 2008! Loads of kisses!
