Last tango in Buenos Aires




This is a flying post, a blogette if you will, just to let you know I am fine and McLovin Buenos Aires, which is a grand old city, a bit European, but faded and slightly rustic. I am staying near the Plaza de Mayo, where the presidents residence is, a Pink House no less, I said it was a bit European. Last night I went to watch the tango with a Columbian girl I met in Peru, she has now gone to Uruguay, and in a few hours I head to Mendoza. The tango was good, thankfully not too long. BA gets a bad rap for being dangerous, but seems fine to me, probably famous last words.
As a footnote, I am in Mendoza now, after a long overnight bus journey. Tomorrow I have an Andes trip, it´s only one day long, and then I head further north.
Incidentally, I now plan to be back in the UK just hours before May 11, now why does that date ring a bell...
