Erin & Regan's South American Adventure
Buenos Aires, first time around
Hola,
We arrived in Buenos Aires and caught a taxi to our hostel in the "San Telmo" area of Buenos Aires. We had to wait a little bit for the previous couple to vacate our room but finally dumped our gear and had showers and so on. Our room was nice, big enough with a large window onto the street. The only problem, as we found out later that night, was that people would stay up late in the common/dining area, playing loud music, right outside our door!
That afternoon we walked around San Telmo looking at the various stalls in the famous Sunday markets. Erin was very tempted by these leather boxes, but settled for a skirt instead.
We found interesting empanadas.
We met Zorro.
A dressed up dog.
And some interesting storefronts.
The next day we started shopping for clothes (both for work and casual) in the UK. We took the subway to a big mall and spent all day and a bunch of money on suits and socks and so on. We also decided to see a movie "Musica y Letra" the latest Hugh Grant plays the same old soppy character movie.
The next morning we checked out, putting the majority of our things in storage at the hostel. We then made reservations at the hostel in Iguazu, bought bus tickets and went out again, this time to get haircuts.
That evening it was off to Iguazu.
