Week 1: discovering Buenos Aires

Dear Family and friends,
We hesitated a lot at first because we thought that the creation of a blog would take ages but it's quite easy actually! We also hesitated when it came to choose a language: french, spanish, english, spanglish? English seemed to be the most commonly understood...at least we hope!
It's been a week since we arrived and we have had the best time ever! Everyone is so kind with us and always keen on showing us the multiple faces and aspects of Buenos Aires. Claire's aunt (Tareka) has welcomed us in her lovely house in San Isidro (special thanks to Ramon for giving up his room...) and we have spent a lot of time with all her cousins. Besides, as you can guess we have had the best meat you can eat (see pictures of yesterday's "asado" at Horacio's dressed to the nines for us...and the dinner we had on Tuesday with Rick at la Brigada. Believe it or not but the waiter did cut the meat with spoons...it was like butter!!!).



We have been discovering Buenos Aires as follows:

1 . on the tourist bus (cheesy)... but it's definitely the best way to get an overview of this huge and beautiful city!

2. With our cousins' cousin Agustina who has shown us some of Bs Aires exclusive aspects such as horse jumping (her boyfriend actually owns a very promising horse named Million Dollar ;-)

3. We want you to know that we miss you all and that we are very thankful be able to be here thank to you guys!
We are currently writing this message from Salta because we took the airplane this morning at 6:30 AM (woke up at 4 am...) as we are starting today our big trip in the Andes that will lead us to Colombia.
We'll keep you posted!
