Buenos Aires.. so much to do and a lovely city

Buenos Aires- 1st big place on our trip for over a month!

We have been here for almost a week now and on our way to Tucuman next on train on Good Friday

SO what have we done so far:

Whirlwind tour of the city on the anniversary of the Malvinas

James feeling guilty to be English today!
Whilst in BA the much loved old Argentian president Alfonsi died so offical public holiday today and state funeral!
Visited the widest avenue in the world! Avenue 9 Julio!
Lots of nice old buildings, very much like old Spain or Italy
La Boca- the colourful street in B.A.


Visited a Tango show in Cafe Tortoni

150 years old and where King of Spain has visited! Very nice as more like a show of dancing music and theatre than just dancing so very nice for all the family to visit here.

Tigre

Lovely City on a delta north of BA. Went on boat trip round the city & visited Art Museum

Eating lots of fine food

Including home cooked food and more ice cream mmmmmmm! :-)


Family party or reunion

Met most of the extended family on saturday and was great fun. Lovely family and had great fun including a solo performance by Mariana´s cousin on the violin. It is a bit of a tradition to have this get together with the Bianchi family

San Telmo Market

As to James´s spanish it is coming along "despacio" as they say in Argentina but improving all the time!

MORE TO COME........
