I think today I had the best piece of meat in my life.. simply amazing... so sooooooooft, juicy and delish... sorry for all you vegetarians out there. I arrived back in Buenos Aires on thursday evening and stayed in a minihostel which I strongly recommend to anyone travelling in South America www.minihostels.com... they are a group of small hostels ,much more quiet than the big at times 300 bed hostels.. What I like about this particular hostel is that it is directly in the centre and I think that I am the only European that is currently staying here. Everyone is latino, from Brazil, Costa Rica, Chile, Uruguay etc.. I love it. Tried different meats when the guys were cooking and finally had a go at the MATEE Tea which the Uruguyan couple staying in my room of course had with them,, weired kind of stuff.. quite an interesting taste.
I am starting to fall for Buenos Aires. Whilst I was a bit tense from a lack of sleep, jet lag and I admit securit paranoya although I still continue to hear some nasty stories, I am enhoying the city much more. There are some beautiful buildings and corners. its all about finding them... and not being seen with the camera...or it may disappear very quickly...There is a lot of street performance ranging from Tango dancers to magicians and music...quite cool.
I dedicated my day to some shopping. Leather shoes oh ever so cheap.. I do admit I went a bit crazy but hey 4 super quality leather shoes for less than 90 pounds sounds like a pretty damn good price to me. I already tried to pack my bagpack for monday just to make sure I can squeeze everything in.. And I have somehow managed.. yeayyyy.. Tomorrow I am off to the San Telmo market where they sell lots of jewellery and little things...
I love the Argentinians.. they are so friendly, welcoming and lovely. It is so easy to meet people. I met for instance Albina´s friend´s brother for a coffee. kinda funny meeting and absolute stranger that you know around corners. But thats the way it works around here. Whilst I have very much enjoyed my time here I do look forward to seeing Renato in Brazil very soon, to relax and unwind.
p.s do feel free to leave a comment I do wonder at times who reads my bla bla
