Still in Buenos Aires

The hotel we are staying at has a free internet connection! Good stuff. Since I last wrote, we´ve managed to find a new hotel to stay at that is cheaper than the first one without too much trouble. We´ve then spent time exploring the city. Yesterday we walked basically all day. Very tiring stuff but well worth it to get an idea of the city. It´s massive. Goes on forever. Today we visited La Boca which is a poorer area where Maradona (the soccer dude)grew up. At some point they decided that painting their town really bright and contrasting colours would be a good thing to do. It looks fantastic. All the restaurants seem to have a guy and girl dancing the tango out the front and the one we went to also had an old man playing the accordion. I had a dance with a very nice tango dancing woman who basically just pushed me around into doing what was a horrible mangling of dance moves that looks very nice when it´s done correctly and like a new born giraffe finding it´s feet for the first time when i do it. Still, it was fun. I´ve got a photo but this pc is nowhere near ready to accept photos being uploaded.
Tomorrow we are heading west to Mendoza which is still part of Argentina. It´s something like 15 hours on a bus. Comfy semi-reclining seats but still, i suspect it´ll be tough going. We are still getting over the jetlag really but hopefully we both sleep very well tonight in preparation for it. From there we head into Chile to spend some time there.
Ok, it´s almost dinner time so time to go.
