around the world: Buenos Aires

We were excited (especially Katja) about eating the famed Argentinian steaks. Also the wine, which is supposed to be better and cheaper than in Brazil. We stayed in Microcentro, which is very busy during the day, but also walking distance to San Telmo and Recoleta (the part of BA where Evita Peron is buried). We found BA to have a very European feel to it and the weather was unbelievable. Probably for the first time during our travels it was not too hot or humid J. We ate great steaks and of course were always too hungry to remember to take any pictures until our plates were already empty!

We were invited to spend New Year Eve with Kirill and Anya, a really nice couple from Katja’s favorite city –San Francisco of course :) at their place in Palermo. We had met them in Iguazu and already then shared our first bottle of Malbec together. There was an international crowd and all had a wonderful time. It was great to try all the different food, wines and to spend NY in Hawaianas J Thanks guys for making sure it will be a New Year celebration to remember!!

On Jan 1^st Luka watched Miran Stanovnik at the start of the Dakar race from Buenos Aires across Argentina and Chile. Priceless J

After some tango in La Boca it was time to head south. 3000km south. A long way even by plane, to Southern Patagonia.
