Buenos Aires, Argentina

Hola! We arrived in BA after the flight was diverted due to thunder storms to a wet and humid city. Our hostel TelmoTango is very picturesque and clean with friendly staff (one of which is a spitting image of Darren Hanlon). We went out for a meal last night at about 10pm to try the meat that everyone raves about. Well, we got meat all right. A plate full of blood sausage, kidney, liver, chops, chicken and ?intestines (they sure did taste like shit). I didn´t get much down but Glen sure tried his hardest. Tonight we´ve done a bit more research into our spanish for our next meal. We had our first spanish lesson with a great teacher called Alice. We´re in a small group of three so its very relaxed and two hours passes very quickly. I´m determined to learn as much spanish as I can whilst in BA as I feel a bit rude when I can´t understand a question or answer a question. Tomorrow after school we´re planning on going on a bike ride round the burbs. Then this weekend its markets time woohoo!
