Daily life in Buenos Aires

Apologies for not putting many postings on recently but we really have slowed things down in Buenos Aires. We´re making the most of having our own space, cooking our own food and watching our own TV before we head off into part two of the backpacking saga. Christmas and New Year were very peaceful here, the city seemed very quiet and the streets were almost empty. New Year´s eve we headed into the centre with a rucksack of champagne for a fireworks display which turned out to be very low-key, homemade and quiet dangerous with kids setting off fireworks randomly. It was a really nice atmosphere though and 28 degrees at midnight! There were people of all ages and big families with bottles of champagne too. We somehow got talking to a drunk bloke who insisted on talking about the falklands but we escaped without causing any offence I think. Thanks for all the calls around Christmas and New Year, it was really nice to hear from you all. We´re in the flat til the 15th then phoneless again. The spanish lessons are going really well but we only have two remaining and are far from fluent but it has been worthwhile. Here´s some random photos of Buenos Aires.






Happy New Year everybody! love from Kieran & Julie x
