Buenos Aires

So after 48 hours here in Buenos Aires, I remembered how much I love this city!! Aside from using my Spanish which is always great fun, the sights, sounds and beautiful people that make up BA is mesmirising! From learning to Tango in the Milongas, to stalking out my new favorite cafe, BA has so much going on its scary. First of all I was here 6 years ago, and returned to the Art Hotel, and so glad I did! www.ahotel.com.ar
There actually is an Art Gallery in the lobby! In the section of Recoleta, this neighborhood that I´m staying in is cozy, not hectic at all, a Cafe on every corner, and smiling faces abound. Just a 15 minute walk is the famous Recoleta Cemetery where of note Eva Peron is entombed. I made sure I paid my respects.

Learning to tango in the Milongas are great fun, all aboard, and after a while you think you have it down...till you try the next move which humbles you immensely. Just a relaxed pace here in BA if you look for it, and the food (Steak) at the Parrillas...well you cant do any better if you hanker for some red meat. Better than Montana, yup, I just said that.

So tomorrow I head down to Ushuaia, in Tierra del Fuego, getting ready for the big Expedition that starts on Monday. But some kayaking and overall exploring in Tierra del Fuego is in order for the next 48 hours. The suspense is building that´s for sure...it still doesn´t seem real...

Note: I was fortunate enough to attend Friday night services at the main Synagogue in BA, where I was able send out a prayer to my buddy Lou Davis, who is struggling with some health issues I unfortunately know all to well. Love you Lou, and hope the healing prayers get to you in a jiffy!!


Till next time mi amigos!
