Buenos Aires

Holla! and greetings to all. we are in Buenos Aires, soaking up the city air....lots of activities to do in the city. Including:

Evita Day!!! Us (L,E,A,K) and our new Londonian friend Michelle had an evita-inspired first day of touring BA. including: casa rosada (tour not included), fancy barettes and dresses. it almost included red lipstick to be extra chic, but the lipstick was lost. so we settled on coral. we also toured the evita museum that is located in one of the halfway-esque houses that she set up for women and girls. it had a bunch of videos of her speeches from the casa rosada, her outfits, and rooms dedicated to all her charitable works. v good. we also took pictures with her postcard.

Getting Lost: NC in Big City= lots of wrong turns. i cannot read a map.

Nightlife: tres bonne. i hope that means good in french. they has a russian death-tobasco shot. not tres bonne.

Tango Show! In Cafe Tortini, historic cafe of BA dating back to 187_ish. v. exclusive. they had a live band (bass, violin, piano, ACORDIAN) and singer guy who wanted us to sing along to all of these "traditional" tango songs....that we didn{t know....and lots of sultry dances. including a few close calls in terms of wardrobe malfunctions. also these two guys who did drums dances and whipped around these stones connected to bungy cord ropes things and they tapped out rhythms with that. v intense. super hardcore.

hmmm. our next stop : iguazu! for 3 nights, nature walks and waterfalls, and staying in a hostel that used to be a casino. imagine: lush red velvet drapery and "fringe" and a huge pool (at least that{s what i{m imagining). the romantic part of our trip. also! we are about to have our 1 month mark for our travels! miss you all tonsies, chau
