And yes folks. I write to you directly from New York, where we paid a little detour after our stay in Buenos Aires to visit Brigitte, Cindy lamia living there for some time. So I summarizes the recent two weeks of travel that we proceeded to Buenos Aires.
So we arrived after another long bus trip (18h). We were still couchsurfing in Buenos Aires so we made our breakfast at a french expatriate in the first place. He lived in the neighborhood of Recoleta, one of the posh Buenos Aires cétait so very well.
We then left to explore the area a bit. Buenos Aires is definitely a filing dune European city. I compare it to Paris with its beautiful architecture, but we keep the score even when frantic and somewhat disorganized southern cities groom. We first offers famieux visit the cemetery of Recoleta. What makes this cemetery is so special is that as cest cemetery rich and important people of Argentina, the dune extravaganza mausoleums are quite surprising. Quic not because they bury the dead, they put in mausoleums. It contains the mausoleums of most presidents of Argentina and also of Eva Perron (Evita, the film pocket with Madonna you know?), The country's national heroine. Quite fascinating as a visit.
Another activity that we had to do in Buenos Aires was to see a Tango show of course. Must say that tango, cest a truly national pride in Argentina. The mainly young and old the practice. I am therefore persuaded to take a course ... Ca sest still very much happening, even quon is returned to take another week DAPR. We even have done a course in rock n roll a second time.
Another thing we had to do in Buenos Aires, according to a recommendation dun Colombian couple encounters in Bolivia, was paved see the show Fuerza Bruta. Fuerza Bruta cest a troupe of dancers / actors / performers are quit a show quite unique. Quite difficult to explain what cétait but cétait really great. What was really interesant, how cest cest has an interactive show. The crowd is parties at the end of the show. It works really well as a trick, even quila have started playing in other cities of the world (NYC), so if they ever come to Canada, go see it.
One thing I wanted to do since the beginning of our arrival in Argentina was paved see a football (soccer). Football is really a religion in Argentina. If you think we're a little crazy with hockey in Canada, well you've seen nothing. We went to see a match of two local teams dune in downtown Buenos Aires, or River Plate. Here, at dun football match, you'll never find supporters dequipes opponents in the same stands. Lequipe who visit an area reserved in the stands popoulaires upper stage dune fence surrounded by barbed wire 12 feet high ... I not even silly. The input of local lequipe the stadium is one of the craziest things to see. Confetti, sirens, firecrackers, smoke bombs (!!!!!!), cétait completely sick. What's also really weird dune game of football here, these are all gestures, chants, shouts and reactions that supporters during the game. It seems that it 'almost a choreography. They have a song and a reaction to any event of the match. An example: a player kick toward the goal and the ball goes over, everyone is "ouuuuuuh" and put both hands on the head. Really weird. By cons, apart from the fans and atmosphere, which then dun football game that are awesome, well, football itself, that it 'ostie flat. It is so lacking Drafting Committee, say that the above, hockey wins hands down. The party finished at 1-0 thanks to a local lequipe aim literally at the last minute. What is the fun, cest to see local supporters taunt the supporters of visitors. Its the frenzy. A father who makes fingers by Pognant the pocket while his two small children stand next door, priceless. Must say that bin of small children were also the fingers .... The output stage of bond is also quite special saying. To avoid lemeute, we must bring out supporters lose first, so that we have been pognes in the stadium a good 45 minutes before going outside. In any case, a whole experience. We
also visit the most qurtiers from downtown Buenos Aires. La Boca with its houses painted in every color. Say that it 'most popular filing of Buenos Aires. San Telmo also one of the oldest district of the city, super beautiful, or we have the best steak mage mooooooonnnnde. Palermo is a bit like the Plateau Mont Royal in the town or we have a little shopping before going to cons for the machine, Buenos Aires is really more advantageous as quava. Cest quite the same price quau Canada.
So here we are at the end. We go to Montreal on Monday morning by bus, yet ... Can not wait to see everyone and tell you this in person for the most part. Otherwise, I will send you the pictures of the trip as at last.
you soon, Cindy & Louis
