Another week, another blog!





Hi Everyone,
Well another week has passed SO quickly!! Time is really flying here......
I managed to catch a cold last week, so the beginning of the week was just a lot of school and going to bed early =(
By Thursday I was feeling a bit better so we ventured out to the famous Ricoleta Cemetry here in Buenos Aires. It has lots of famous people buried in tombs there, Evita being among them. It was a really cool place (for a cemetry) and there were some really beautiful tombs (see the first 2 pictures above). Thurs night had a big drinking session with my classmates after school in the evening. Lots of fun =)
Saturday we all went and had a look around La Boca, a suburb here where the working class live. Tango was invented there in a brothel - interesting hey?? The touristy part was very bright and touristy (see colourful houses and me picture above) and the rest of Boca is actually quite dodgy. That night we had a nice dinner at Gavins apartment before heading out to a bar. Good times.
Sunday was recovery day and in the evening Andrew and I went and saw a movie again, this time The Bourne Ultimatum. Very good (the bits I saw anyway, I kept falling asleep!).
Last night we had a farewell dinner for our classmate Claudia who is off to Bolivia today. We had yummy steak at a really nice Parilla here (like a bbq steak house). It was DELICIOSO. Best meal Ive had in ages!!!
So I finish up at school this Friday and on Saturday I should be heading off travelling, yay!! First stop, Igazu falls.
Btw, the other picture above is of Ave 9 de Julio, which Argentinians claim to be the widest road in the world. With 16 lanes, it takes a while to cross! Thought you might like to see it...
Take care guys, missing you lots xoxoxoxoxo
