Beunos Aires/Atlanta

---

This is the last blog before I returned home to England for three weeks. This isn´t the most exciting of my blogs guys for obvious reasons. We spent four days in Beunos Aires in which we walked alot around the city.

We checked out Avenida 9 de Julio, which cuts through the city kind of like a large river. At its widest it spans about 15 lanes of traffic, a great place to play a game of bulldog. Chris and I also went to a footy match between River Plate and Racing at Rivers stadium. A very different affair to the Brasilian games, no alcohol and large barbed wire fences everywhere. In fact at a game the day before a fan was killed and the riot police had to fire water cannons to stop the fans tearing the fence apart and encroaching on the pitch! We ate plenty of steak (awesome and dirt cheap) and checked out a lot of street perfomers doing Tango dancing.

On the fourth day after saying goodbye to the boys I set off on a marathon journey home. Firstly I left Buenos Aires Monday night to get an overnight flight to Atlanta, arriving there 05.30am, my connection didn´t leave until 17.35pm....sweet. I did however meet a cool local on the plane who advised me on how to kill some time in Atlanta. How else but by seeing the worlds largest aquarium followed by the world of Coca-Cola (possibly even cheesier than a Bordeaux cheesemongery)

Needless to sya the hours didnt exactly fly by. Well thats it for this blog guys, sorry its brief but my heart wasnt really in it, hopefully will do BA justice when I return there.
