Te amo Buenos Aires

We are now in Buenos Aires. It is an amazing city, which never sleeps. We will be back again at christmas. Stephen is working on finding a beautiful tango couple to take photos of, as he has struggled. They do exist...perhaps I will be one of them as I have already had my first tango lesson!



Cafe Tortoni. The oldest in BA, where intellectuals and policitians met in the past.



We stumbled across a movie being filmed. An action movie perhaps? We hovered around for a bit but we weren´t offered a part!



Antique pocket watches for sale on the market in San Telmo, a district of BA and the birthplace of Tango. Our favourite place in BA so far...



Evita´s (Eva Peron) grave. She inspired many argentinians in the 1940´s, mainly due to her charitable work.



The balcony of the presidential palace, known as Casa Rosada, from where Evita spoke to the argentinian people.



The fantastic markets of San Telmo on a Sunday.




A couple dance the tango in the streets of San Telmo.




We came across this tango singer. We think he may have been famous in his time as he has loads of pictures of himself in magazines-A real character.
