Tango en Fiesta in Buenos Aires

---

After spending almost 2 months in Patagonia, it was nice to arrive in this great and especially warmer city.
The 24 th was here a national memorial day (30 years after the army took over control) What I saw was amazing, thousands of people heading to the big plaza de Mayo ,demonstrating, especially not to forget what had happened. At the plaza where the mothers of the lost children, who where speaking to the crowd, and it was a huge crowd!

The rest of the day I spent some time at the dentist, since I lost my (fake) front thooth, so I havent been smiling since a week now, and I had to wait another 5 days!!! Too bad but thinks like that happen as well when traveling around!

My hostel was not the best but and I wanted to change the place, but 3 nights in a row I missed the checkout time of 11 o'clock wich is rediculously early since the bars and clubs here don't get full before 3 am. Not only did I miss checkout time but also the free breakfast of the hostel!!! nice way to advertise, free breaky at our hostel when they know that nowbody is gonna make that anyways
