Just 1 day to go until Lollapalooza and I am getting very excited and like always am having trouble sleeping. Today I had a few things to do and the most important was to go see my friend Milena and pick up my tickets for the festival. I am really lucky that I was able to talk my Host Heli into coming so we can travel out to the event together and I have someone familiar to share experience with. After lunch and my exercises I took a bus into the city to see my f...

As today is Sunday and I have a big week coming up and the fact it is pouring with rain outside means I can warrant doing not much today. After a good sleep-in I took an umbrella and went for a quick walk. Heli slept most of the day and when she got up we had lunch together at about 3pm (normal lunch hour here). The rain had eased a bit by late afternoon so I took the chance to go for another walk. In the evening we downloaded a comedy film and chilled out watchi...

This morning I talked Heli into buying a ticket to Lollapalooza - a huge rock festival being held here in Buenos Aires for the first time.

For lunch on Heli's grandmothers recommendation we cooked Morcilla (blood sausage) stuffed with Raisins and walnuts and a fresh garden salad. Just like a sausage but much fatter the morcilla was placed in the oven for 30 or 40 minutes - u...

As I had got to bed at a reasonable hour lastnight I was able to get up a little earlier then usual. I did a few things on the Internet before heading for a walk to the park to enjoy the sunshine.

After some lunch and a quick workout Heli came back and we decided to go visit Caminito - an art district close to Heli's place. Caminito was interesting enough but very touris...

As we arrived home so late lastnight I decided to sleep in until 11am. I didn't have much planned for today - just to recover, go for a bit of a walk and take it easy. In the afternoon I wondered around some new areas, did some shopping and people watched. In the evening Heli was out so I made some dinner and then watched a few movies and got to bed at the most reasonable hour since I had arrived in Buenos Aires - 12:30am.
