Tuesday in Buenos Aires

Before I talk about today here are a couple of photos from last night – of the percussion band. I didn’t take my camera so these are from Monique.

This morning I went to school – as I will do every morning this week. I’m learning a lot but I’m not sure if I will remember everything. The class is really good and today another English guy joined the class, Joe.

At the end of school we went for lunch at a little cafe close by – the food was delicious and big portions.

I popped home quickly and then met up with Monique. We braved the very busy Subte and got a tube to Palermo. We went to visit the Eva Peron museum. I learnt a lot about Eva Peron that isn’t really portrayed in the film or musical. I didn’t realise she was quite so politically active including setting up social welfare foundations and supporting the elderly reforms and helping orphaned children. Quite a lot of what she started to set up is still happening today. It was a really good museum and quite moving too as she died so young at just 33.

Later on in the evening we met up with some of the others and went to Las Cabras for steak. It was good steak but not the best that I’ve had.

At 11pm the tubes stop running so we had to work out the bus system which was pretty interesting. Somehow we all managed to get home ok.
