Iguazu

Hola! Now we are fluent Spanish speakers...... OK, so we have only actually just completed a three day course.

The last few days have been full of fun in Buenos Airies (BA). The mornings have been filled with the tourist-tastic sights. Namely the Plaza de Mayo with the balcony where Evita spoke to the Argentinian people from and the museum and Cathedral. Other sights include the great obelisk and the congress buildings. Fab!
The weekend we had off from the Spanish lessons and went out to Palermo for the day, an area of BA that is filled with parks and all the BA greats out to enjoy the sunshine. An excellent place to while away the hours. Sunday is a day to hit the markets and the streets of San Telmo are filled with antique markets and street entertainers. All the usual suspects are present with various mime artists and jugglers but we also came across some that are not so often seen, namely the puppeteers (sp?) and Tango dancing.

Sunday night and the overnight trip to Iguazu.
