Before we left Buenos Aires, we took another tango lesson. This was a private lesson, just the two of us and the teacher. And Olga to take the pictures, of course! We started at 9 pm and were pretty exhausted afterwards. But not too exhausted to have Bife de Chorizo at Desnivel afterwards

Yesterday we went on another day trip, to Tigre. It’s an archipelago in the Delta north of Buenos Aires, with fancy boat clubs and week-end mansions, as well as fruit farms and lots more… which we didn’t manage to see because we overslept. The bar in our hostel was open until 5 am and it was quite noisy. Also, unfortunately I can out of batteries for the digital camera while we were on the boat trip…

To dance tango, we obviously needed new shoes. You can’t dance tango in the sneakers and sandals we’d packed… And shoes in Argentina are amazingly cheap!

Yesterday we went on a day trip to Colonia in Uruguay, a three-hour boat trip across the River Plate. Quite a change from the bustle of Buenos Aires, and very relaxing—except for a stressful moment when we didn’t have money for the departure tax and I had to run back from the boat terminal into town to withdraw 100 UR$ (about 3 EUR).

Yesterday we went to three exhibitions and a museum. We also saw Palermo (hihi) and the cemetery in Recoleta.
Today we’ll try to go to Uruguay for the day…

A poster discarded in the gutter, saying “no to inflation, yes to increased wages”.
We’ve seen at least 3 rallies every day. They’re so small they almost dissapear in this huge city. But, as we had to experience sitting in a sidewalk café, they can still be very noisy.
