Buenos Aires: Vol. 1

We spent the morning checking out the historical sites - the Plaza de Mayo, for example - and buildings - the Casa Rosada and the Cathedral, resting place of Argentine Libertador San Martín. The Plaza de Mayo is famous for the demonstrations by the "Mothers of the Disappeared"; the Casa Rosada, "The Pink House", is where Evita (and Madonna...!) made her crowd-pleasing speeches from the balcony.

There are loads of cinemas in downtown BA - we've counted three within five minute's walk of our hotel -, and so we decided to have a movie afternoon. Yesterday we went to see The Last Samurai; today we took advantage of the 2-for-1 offer and saw Kill Bill: Vol. 1 and Seabiscuit one after the other (interesting combination :). Tickets were ludicrously cheap, of course - 80p for each of us.

Time is ticking away, so that's all I've got time to write for now... Bye!
