Dog sitter

People seem to love their dogs here - lots of them. And lots of dog sitters: people that take them for walks during the day: MANY each! The love for dogs is also perceivable on the streets: tons of dog poo everywhere you have to be very aware in order to avoid them

All right, time to leave BA....

The inertia was beginning to scare me... Time to run away! Yeah we were starting to get a little stuck, get a routine, get to know more and more people (in picture, une top du top, Monika), going out too much and too late (the kids have yet to adapt to the Argentians' rhythm - here you'll see 5-year olds in the streets at midnight), spending too much money (restaurants here are good, but expensive for our budget - and there are way too many good shoe/ clothes shops here), and above all enough big city, pollution, cars everywhere.

So tomorrow night we leave for Lima (the bus ride up to Bolivia was just too long and winding to do both ways) and then work ourselves south-east.

Happy Easter all of you

We love you!!!!! Huge hugs

New mask?

Yeah, we went for it, at San Telmo. That way, the next time there's a 'fête déguisée' we'll finally know what to wear (les gars, ne vous étonnez pas si on vient avec le même masque à chaque fois que c'est déguisé, d'acc?)

San Telmo

Market and watching tango (of course) (but oh yes!)

Big cities mean waiting at cross-roads

Funny how you can discover cultures also by how you cross a big road. Vietnam was DEFINITELY the most intense (slalom between full speed, non stop, scooters), and ANY road crossing seems easy since then... Here, the people actually stop at the red light (probably because they drive so crazily when it becomes green). The place is a traffic mess, it's a pain in the ass to get around (we've given up on buses, what a maze...) but we walk tons, which is nice and the Subte (metro) is great (personally, I love the mosaics on the walls in old metros like this one).
