Now in Buenos Aires, bustling home to 12 million Argentines.  I´m more than ready to put the rucksack in the cupboard for a few months, and settle into a more relaxed rhythm for a little while.  Just looking for an appartment to share until January, and hope to find some work teaching English, as well as indulging myself in lessons on the guitar, the world-renowned tango, some football and trying to find some green space in the city for a but of running. Oh, and practising Spanish of course.

Just looking back through my diary revealed some interesting statistics, including the fact that I´ve stayed in over 130 hostels, hotels or guest houses in the past year, so yes, time I stopped for a bit.

It´s been a pleasure to collect my thoughts through these postings, and I hope to restart some time in the new year, assuming I am reunited with my camera sometime soon, as it is currently on it´s digital sick bed a 24 hour bus ride from here...

Best wishes - Mick.
