Hi all,

Already 4 days spent in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and I have been able to visit a bit more the city on sunday. I spent monday and tuesday on working only. Tomorrow I will try to get out, yes I said try …

On saturday, I went out with workmates to tour the city by night, go to a very good meat restaurant, try some wine (which is I think very good) and have some fun around. Was really great.

I visited on Sunday a very nice place called “San Telmo”, with a huge flee market and many antiquities shops in the streets. In this place, the architecture is also quite interesting to see, at least more than the traditional buildings near the office place. What a guidebook says about it:

This neighborhood was populated by aristocratic families towards the end of the 19th century. After the yellow fever the big mansions that belonged to high class families, became squats or “conventillos” where large numbers of people lived. Nowadays, its a neighborhood with narrow streets, colonial patios and with a bohemian smell in the air. There are art schools and arts and crafts fair as well as tango-show places.

Apart of that, it snowed on monday… Yes it is freaking cold here ! And yes it has snowed. People here say it has not been snowing since 90 years in the city ! And after that how can I trust Al Gore on TV when he says there’s global warming ?! No, he should come here and see by himself where the warming is … lol. Joking of course!

Bad news is that I still have not get back my luggages, which are probably lost in Madrid … Damn damn this is starting to be really worrying :§

Of, and if you might ask, what is good to see and taste in Argentina, I would say: taste the meat, it is delicious, and see the girls (”chicas” as they say here), they are gorgeous ! And they look very natural, serious, smart, not like bimbo at all. Beauty in all simplicity. I definitively like it ! You can also try the inverse: taste the girls and see the meat, it’s up to you ^^
