Hi Laura, Looks like you are having a brilliant time. Enjoy Argentina. Let me know when you are going to hit Brazil and your route while there. We know quite a few people over there. Quite a few work in Globo the tv station in Rio de Janeiro and Paula a good friend who we saw recently works with Red Bull is in San Paulo - a good contact for partying! Frances xx
