Rain in San Telmo

Well I wasn't expecting this.
It's flippin raining.
Eating my porridge in Laura's kitchen (rain, porridge, I'm basically still in th UK!) then heading out to the Cementeria de Recoleta with my camera and then to the MALBA (museo de arte de latinoamericano de buenos aires) for some culture (but mostly because it's raining) before we go out for STEAK tonight (oh boy). Got to navigate the streets of BA on my own for the first time, it's a pretty complicated city, with a basically unnavigable bus serviec (unless you live there, but even then...)
It will be an adventure.

Yesterday we wandered round the market in San Telmo, which was great. I established the  meander which will carry through the rest of the trip...and one which will only slow down as it gets even warmer. Oh yes. 

For lunch we went to a wicked grill place and had churipan (hot dog with chorizo) and chips, followed by a flan. Basically since I arrived we've eaten dough with meat in (empanadas), pasta and pesto, meat in bread, then pizza! They bloody love their dough products apparently.
And their meat.

Then we went and had a cuppa in a cafe and watched some tango which was pretty nifty. Yesterday evening was lovely too, we went to Laura's friend's flat and I met some lovely people, which got me excited about going to my first hostel tomorrow night!
Get the ball rolling on this travelling thing.

Photos to come as soon as I buy a chord for my camera! Oops.

Ciao for now, enjoy the sun England has apparently stolen from us here.
