We´re in South America!

---

So, after a bumpy flight into Santiago, a brief stop over there and a short flight to B.A, we´ve landed safely.

Initial impressions after 2 days; BA is MASSIVE but approachable. People are generally pretty friendly and forgiving of our lack of Espanol. It feels very European.

We have visited Casa Rosada (The Pink Palce) where Evita Peron did her thing and a few other local churches and bits and pieces (see pictures).

Yesterday we decided to take a Spanish course here in BA, so will be here for another two weeks. Hopefully this should enable us to communicate a little for the remianing 5 months...


Ciao

Can´t remember the name of the Chruch at the moment, but San Martin..., the liberator of Argentina is entombed here.

A Bank
Pretty extravagant....must be an old one.

Up & away!
It's hard to believe that you are there busy sight seeing when you were here 2 days ago. Bon Apetite for that dinner . xxx

Good luck with the Spanish lessons - I imagine it will be a little easier once you know a few useful phrases :) The photo of the bank is impressive. Any idea if the whole building is still used by the bank, or whether other businesses use it as well?

Hello Pat and Carina (and Gerry)! I guess Brett and Jo are so busy at Spanish lessons, there's no time for blogging. We can chat amongst ourselves. The weather forecast for Buenos Aires today was for 26deg and 94% humidity. Hot stuff.

Hey Carina It might (not) surprise you that I never found out about that bank in Buenos Aires. I imagine it is used for many thigns now, and one of them ´might´be a bank... I hope you guys are well, and we look forward to catching up in late June! Brett and Jo.
