ARGENTINA

I left Perù just on time to miss the hearthquacke. I was really lucky....but I had for a moment the feeling to bring bad luck.... Dean hurricane in Mexico -and then destruction in Perù...

 

I arrived in Buenos Aires really tired but happy cause I spent nice time in the plane with a Venezuelan guy (NESTOR), so, now, I'm omniscient about the dictator (Chavez). In any case I was not so happy with Taca Interfly Airlines cause they didn't give me enough alcohol. Really disappointed...

1-0 for British Airways.

 

The day after I booked a trip to go to the north (IGUAZU' FALLS - MISSIONE'S REGION).

Beautiful park with incredible waterfalls...It's in the border with Brazil.

I spent that day with a nice couple from B.A. (SHONI&JORI).

 

The day after, I booked a horse-trip and with a guide I went in the jungle....after hours in the back of the """""""""horse"""""""" we arrived in a reserve of Indigenous.

350 people live in this land...in small "houses".

The politic sistem in this place is really different.....immagine that is the woman that choose the husband; and he cannot refuse it....

I Think that this should be an international rule.

Ther are in use many ancients rules and if one of them break it, he's out of the comunity, after a strict punishment.

They live in freedom having around 10-13 children, selling to the tourist handcrafts jewelleries.

My guide told me that the government give them quiet a lot of money.....infact.....inside their poor houses they have satellite and playstation.....RIGHT

 

The same day I took again the coach (16 hours), and went back to Buenos Aires.

My friend INES was waiting at the station.

I was knackered.

I have been guest in her house. with her fantastic family...

I really loved them...especially the mum....of course 100% ITALIAN.

 

B.A. is a beautiful city that remind me Madrid for something (but....much much better then the spanish capital)...also people are much more friendly in Argentina.

 

The food is great there....the wine..ahhhhhhh.....the people, the tango, some Tangheros...

 

One of my favourite things you can find in B.A. is Dulce the Lece (grr...I hope this is the spelling)...It's a kind of cream made by milk....and you cannot immagine how is inside a crepe.

 

Oh....I feel sick only if I think of it....

I have been party, Ines was so kind that gave me her clothes cause I didn't have nothing better then bikini&shorts from Mexico and mountain boots from Perù.

 

I had really nice time....but I really felt that for me the time was gone...I had to go back to London and have a rest...I was tired of planes, see things, meet people...i wanted just have a rest. And was perfect be with Grau's family cause I felt like home...protect and happy.

 

Everything is cheap there...unfortunately I was not in the right mood (thanks to my bank in London) to buy leather boots-bags-belt....pity. But I bought some t-shirt from La Martina.

 

I tried to dance tango and I have to say that I'm brilliant....you'll see the pictures and the video.

 

I'm in love with Argentina and I want to see more, hopefully will be my present for my degree in 2 years....daddy :-)

I met a guy in a party.....JUAN....I spoke quiet a lot with him about his beautiful country that evening....and he just increased my desire to go back.

 

I spent my last day in B.A. sleeping and having a relaxing mug of tea and a crepe with dulce de leche (of course)....I know it's a pity, but I was really tired......

 

When my plane took off from Buenos Aires, I made the same praye that I usually made every time when I'm leaving a place that I love.........a thanks and a promise that I'll go back one day.
