Still in Buenos Aires

I am still in Buenos Aires. This week has gone by very quickly. I am still studying Spanish, and am picking it up slowly. A new peron joined the class today. Everyone in the class is friendly and helpful.

My lack of Spanish makes it a bit awkward at the home stay. They ask me the same questions and I think they pretend to understand me. Margaret Thatcher came up at the dinner table the other night. It was quite funny really.

The weather here has changed a bit. Its cold, I need my big coat now. The sun is always shining, and the sky is a beautiful blue. Everyone is properly wrapped up now. Hats, gloves, and big, big coats. The buildings are all decorated with tiles and are not very well heated.

I have been out a few times this week. The night life is very relaxed, but people do not go out until 11.00 at the earliest. Its not good for me when I have school the next day. Have to have a seista in the afternoons.

Tried tango last week, its only a beginners class so quite slow, but it makes me feel very feminine.

I finish at the Spanish school on Friday and start to make my way to Brazil, with the tour that I booked. Will be nice to have a break from studying, though I am quite sad to be leaving.

That's all for now.
