Getting used to a life of wandering in Buenos Aires...

It's amazing how quickly you can establish a routine, even in the absolute absence of any fixed plans or responsibilities. After just three full days in Buenos Aires, we have already settled into a comfortable rhythm, assisted no doubt by having our own beautiful apartment in San Telmo, one of the oldest and most picturesque neighbourhoods of the city.

Morning-man Martijn gets up and goes to grab some pastries for breakfast at one of the nearby bakeries and gets some spanish practise in at the same time (cuatro medialunas por favor). After breakfast we take a walk down to the San Telmo Market for a coffee (dos cafe solo por favor) and then head out for a bit of sightseeing.

We come back to the apartment in the afternoon for a quick siesta, then after dinner head out to one of the many bars nearby for beers and whatever else is on offer...so far we've been treated to stand up comedy by a rather imposing transvestite (where I learned the colloquiel meaning of the word paja) and a jam sesssion with Brazilian samba musicicans. Yep, this is a routine that I can handle.

Note: for those of you who want to know what a word spoken by a tranny at a stand up comedy show might mean.....
