Well, this is attempt nr 1254 to try to get some pictures online... Computers here aren´t the best.

Anywho: I am probably not going to post any pics on this website because it takes a lot of effort to put them online at all, so I´ll post the link for facebook, you can all see them there.

Things here are better and better. I´ve met quite some people now, which makes all the difference. I´m also starting to get to know my way around, and feel more comfortable to try and ask for things with the little spanish I have. Unfortunately I couldn´t start spanish lessons yet, there was a miscommunication. I have just received an email that next monday I can start, which is really good.

The weather here is just perfect! It´s warm, only in the sun it´s hot, but not humid like back home. I think it´s about 26 or 28 degrees. I´m even starting to get a bit of a tan! :) Yes, I can feel your jealousy! hehe... I´m slowly doing al the tourist stuff, La Boca is on today´s schedule. This Barrio (neighbourhood) is know for it´s colourfull houses and it´s also where tango was first created. It´s one of the less safer places in Buenos Aires, but during the day time it´s ok. So far the city feels pretty safe. It´s often reffered to as the most european city of the continent and I get where they get that from. The streets are beautifull, with cobble stones and big old trees, really nice buildings.

This saturday I will spend a night at the hostel. They´re organizing an Asado, which is argentinian barbecue. The hostel is a great place to meet people, so I go there often to meet someone and then usually some more join us for the day and so the group grows a bit. It´s really nice. Just a pity that most of them stay only a few days, but I´ll probably meet some more when I start my spanish classes that will stay longer.

The food so far is really good, but I have yet to try my first argentinian steak. I´ll let you know how it was. ;)

Thanks everyone for the nice comments on my stories! Feels really good that you´re thinking of me, I sure do think of you! I miss Sjoerd a lot, but we stay in touch regularly and feeling good here now makes it some more bearable.

Hasta luego!

Besitos, Iris
