After almost a year leaving in small places, it is now time for some days in a big city… Buenos Aires is the starting point of our South American trip. We arrive on a Friday morning in a fairly destroyed status since the plane had a personal entertainment console with dozens of movies, series, documentaries and of course games to choose from… so bottom-line i slept 3 H and Sarah 30 minutes…
In BA we stay at a friend of Sarah’s place, Rüdiger (or as his Argentinian girlfriend Marilla calls him: Schüdi – to denote the special way to speak that Argentines have in respect of “R” at the beginning of a word or of “ll” in whichever position.
Schüdi is a great host, after having us walk 31 blocks (we still don’t know if he typed wrong or if Sarah copied wrong – we went to Juncal 310b and he lives at 3102b… a small 2 that means a lot!!!) he had prepared us his super confy couch left us some info and we finally met him the evening after work.
For dinner we HAD to go for meat, a lot of meat… it’s Argentina no!?
Saturday we had a slow morning, great brunch, nap a bit of work and… Futbol… yep we went to a Boca Juniors match! Very cool, foremost the prematch (see pic.) and when boca scored the 2-1 at the 96’!!!
The rest of the week was also really easy-going, walk around, visit museums, eat meat, a tango show, drink mate, learn about Argentina’s past and work a bit…
On Tuesday we met with our friend Lucas and had a great time discussing thousand of things while having mate and pastelitos!
Wednesday, on a gray morning, we where trying to figure out a plan on how to get to go skiing here in Argentina. Well, the thing is that the season starts on the 13th of June and by then we might already be in Bolivia if we stick to the original plan… who cares about the plan… Friday we leave for Patagonia!
