Buenos Aires

Arriving in Buenos Aires our Host Tomas picked us up from the Bus Station and brought to his home. He lives in a really nice house with a big garden, a pool, a labrador and his (the lab's) friend the cat.
So on our first half day we just stayed in his house, played with the dog, which loves to run around the pool barking and then jmuping in the pool trying to eat as many leaves as possible while he's swimming aroung. Just to nearly puke afterwards because of all the water he swallowed while trying that...
It rained a lot that day and the next day we tried to get into Buenos Aires, which is an hour by train from Tomas place. But because of all the raine lots of streets and tunnels were flooded so that our train didn't go into the city. A nice old Lady offered us to guide us from one of the train stops by bus to a different train. Arriving there we just got told that this train  doesn't go as well... So in the end our whole day was about driving around in trains and buses just to get to the point where we started.
At that point we already had another couch in the city. So next morning we started, again, into the city and brought our stuff to Mariana and Gaston.
From there it was easy to go to the center by bus and there was no more no rain.
We visited the Casa Rosada, the Museo de Bicentenario, went to see some Tango dancing on the Placa Dorrega and then we met our Hosts at the Torquato Tasso to see some Tango
live music.



The next day we went to see the Teatro Colon, which was really impressive, went to vist Evita at her grave and in the End to the Planetarium to see some stars and the history of the beginning of our planet.



The last day was quite colorful because we went to La Boca. We saw "El Diego" lots of colored houses and tourists...

So in the beginnig I wasn't convinced of Buenos Aires but in the end I have to admit it is a nice city, even though which I forgot to mention, we got robbed in the subway (Somebody stole our written postcards, ready to be sent) and it does have a lot to offer and see.
Thanks to our hosts we saw some goog live Tango music which we never would have seen
without them.
