Buenos Aires, Argentina

Well we are in the big city of Buenos Aires, we took a 14 hour overnight bus from Mendoza which was ok we were able to sleep and they fed us dinner as well as champagne and wine, you can't beat that! We are staying in a flat right down town so we have been able to walk to all the great areas of the city. We have chosen a different walking tour each day. We went to the recoleta cemetery the other day and saw evitas grave it was something to see the insane buildings they have built for the tombs. All were just incredible! we went to the presidential palace and walked along the river docks in Puerto madero, and saw the opera house which is one of the 4 most well known in the world. They have a street here that is 8 lanes each direction, you had to walk very briskly to get across before the light turned. Last night we went for dinner with Pablo and Laura, Glenn had trained Pablo at work 4 years ago in Calgary so it was great to be able to see him here. We went for steaks and though they were good iam still an Alberta beef girl! Tonight we are going to put on our dancing shoes and make our attempt at the tango! we are going to a tango dinner show and they give you lessons before the show so we will see how that goes:) We are enjoying Buenos Aires there is lots to see and do so it is keeping us busy! we are here till wednesday then we will head to country number 11 Uruguay! That's all for now!
