Strictly Come Dancing in Buenos Aires

---

Before I start I have to fill you in on a very important part of the blog i missed. In Trevelin....when we were white water rafting there was a devils bridge at the end about 35m high that you could jump from. So we disembarked from the boat and made it to the top of the bridge. It looked a long way down I have to say. I stepped over the edge and went to jump then chickened out ... Dean was looking down whiite with fear.... I said to myslef I have to do this as it could be another one to me and I am lagging behind so I counted to 3 and was gone!! Great but a long way down ....I camer to the surface and Dean was still at the top. After a lot of cajoling Dean decided he couldn´t do it. So a horse race and a jump to me!! Granted Ia m winning the activities that dont require me to get out of breath.

Anyway..Buenos Aires loved it, totally great city with a real buzz the only downside for me was that we managed to find a pub to watch the rugby but it was good for Dean. On the Sunday we went to La Boca which is full of colourful houses with tango on the streets and music playing everywhere. Then on to sipping coffee in the streets of San Telmo where there are all sorts of artists in the streets and a big antique market.

Then the best bit; a Tango lesson. So much fun but for those of you that watch strictly come dancing we were no Darran Gough or Natasha Kaplinsky more like Kate Garraway and Willie Thorn!! I found it hard as I had to keep quiet and let Dean lead but he kept getting it wrong...... not that I was much better but I have Deans lesson on video for all to see. We didn´t really get passed walking a box step so no high kicks just yet but a certificate. Then after we had a meal and a show to show us how it was properly done!!

We are now leavog Argentina to go to Uruguay our second last country before home
