Buenos Aires

Hola!

First of all let me say navigating a spanish computer and keyboard is tricky so i apologise for any typos.

My flight to buenos aires was surprisingly pleasant i managed to get in the first row of the economy section which meant over a metre of leg room, 2 windows and a really hot brazilian guy sitting next to me who was really easy to talk to. I think the gods were smiling down on me. So although i didn´t get a wink of sleep my entire trip and the plane food was crap, (no surprise there) I still had a nice flight. Flying over south america i was suprised to how flat and incredibly dry and empty argentina was, however when flying to Buenos Aires it was amazing, such a massive city with so many buetiful and huge houses and right next to that were small falling apart houses in the slums. When i arrived at the airport the girls weren´t there but fortunately they had emailed me to tell me they were on their way.

So far we have wandered around the city seen some of the sights, had a dinner out, been grocery shopping and wandered the gardens.

It´s hard work and often frustrating when everything is in spanish and everyone speaks spanish, fortunately through using a few key words and a bit of mime we can usually communcate and a lot of people speak english. Claire and Katrina are getting good at spanish but i´m still struggling.

Anyway we are heading out now to see a very old cemetary so i need to cut this short.

hope you are all well!
