hi from Argentina
I do love Buenos Aires. I live at 400km, in a city called Tandil, lovely place to live surrounded by hills and a lake. I like the way you describe my country and my people. You use preciese words, no doubt you are a great observer. Enjoy Patagonia. Hugs. Graciela.

Fab as usual!

Glad you are continuing to have a great time and glad that I'm actually catching up on the blogs! Wish me luck!
