A quick update and a few more photos. We are currently residing in the beautiful, hot and sunny Buenos Aires, Argentina. Been here a week or so and have enroled in a Spanish Language school for three weeks of intensive Spanish lessons! The school is run by two very energetic ladies who keep us all amused and fed and watered. We share our class with a nice American lady called Anika and Richard, a one off swiss dude! The Argentinian people are very welcoming and all seem to think they are European, they have alot better dress sense than the Brazilians!

9 de Abril with the famous obelisk in the background. This road has 9 lanes going each way!!
We´ve been visiting the sites in and around the city and feel very comfortable and safe here and love the cheap, tasty food and wine! I´ve been to watch Boca Juniors play in ´La Bombaneira´ and they managed to record a fine 4-1 victory using the old dirty Argentinian tricks of diving and trying to get opposing players booked and sent off. Diego Maradona the fat cheat was also there cheering them on. The crowd were amazing and the passion and nonstop singing was very entertaining, no riots or police brutality unfortunatly!

My view in ´La Bomboneira´´
We have also spent a cultural night at the Opera!! We watched Turandot the one featuring the famous Italia 90 world cup song ´Nessun Dorma´. It was very long and we didnt understand a word but was a nice night out with the well to do people of Buenos Aires.

Kat out side Casa Rosa, the balcony is where Evita made her speaches from.
Last weekend we spent in a city called Rosario, a four hour bus journey from B.A. If you dont know it was the birthplace of famous T-shirt adorner and revolutionary Che Guevera, its a university city and is populated by very beautiful people who all seemed to be under the age of 40. A great place for sitting outside and people watching.
Before we left Brazil we saw the Itaipu Dam, the biggest hydro electric generator in the world and it was so boring im not going to write anything else about it.

Paul and Kat at the devils throat, Iguassu Falls. Slightly damp.
Last night we went wine tasting and are now fully skilled tasters who can tell a shiraz from a malbec after a little sniff, good fun and met some intresting characters!
Thats it for now, might take some more photos somewhen for mums to print if we can be arsed! Chao Chicos.
