¡Tonight we Tango!

Day two of our trip and we're about to go on a big tour of Buenos Aires. We're both enjoying the city and I (Tim) am especially enjoying the chance to experiment with my Spanish with unsuspecting locals. Yesterday in a Havana cafe, we had a world traveller moment when the Lonely Planet TV show came on behind us and they were touring London.

The city reminds me a lot of Cairo, with its oversized buildings and smog, but it also feels very American (N and S American). There is a great feeling of space, with exceptionally wide roads and fields between buildings in the suburbs. Very different than the UK, of course. Argentinians also have a cowboy culture, with lots of leather, knives, and male kissing (see: broke back mountain). The shopping here is also really cheap, so we won't leave here without our share of ponchos.

We'll keep you posted.
