And more pictures...Everyone drinks lots of coffee here... they sit for hours in the afternoon and drink very strong coffee and eat cookies and pastries. I had two coffees the other day and I almost died from a caffine overdose, but I´m getting properly addicted now.

There is a lot of traffic here.

This is the fanciest church in town where all the rich people go. Aparently if you are rich and want to get married here you have to wait two years.

A Giant Rubber Tree ' 150 years old and so big it needs to have it´s branches supported.


The fanciest apartment building in town... very old and nicely restored, many buildings here have nice enclosed courtyards, and people do amazing things with plants on thier balconies.
This building was world class and one of the tallest anywhere when it was build 1920 I think..

Buenos Aires

First couple of days in Buenos Aires have been good. Day one was recovering from 26hour flight, being overwhelmed by the throngs of people in the neighboorhood where my hostel is and learning to watch my feet instead of the scenery incase I fall into an unexpected hole in the middle of the side walk or trip over some uneven pavement (I will get some pictures for you). Day 2 was exploring in a torrential down pour, meeting several Australians, finding a nice place by the docks where there were not throngs of people and learning to watch my feet instead of the senery in case I step into a giant puddle. I also signed up for a spanish class since the most I can comprehend in spanish is hola and ciao. That starts tomorrow.

¡Disclaimer! If my spelling sucks it´s because this computer is set for spanish so spell checker is useless '- I take no personal responsibility for the spelling of words on this blog.

yo, this is my blog

Hi, I´m traveling in South America for a few months and I´m going to try this blogging thing so people won´t get sick of my emails and all that.
