The sun is shining in BA!

Since we arrived in Cordoba (last Tuesday), its been grey and raining...We are in BA since Friday and the rain followed us...But TODAY the sun is back and we are very happy!!! I dont have much time to write since we will start to explore a new area of the city soon.

Some facts from our first days in BA:
We live in a nice neighborhood called Parlemo. Its cool to have our apt and settle down for a couple of days!

On Friday, we visited a gallery from a local artist (Xul Sol) and the house of Carlos Gravel, an Argentine singer.

On Saturday, we shopped in Parlemo Viejo. Im AMAZED by how beautiful are the shops, bars, restaurants ´front spaces´ (devantures). Very creative and sleek most of the time.

On Sunday, we walked around San Telmo, an older area with full of antiques shops and kiosks. We wanted to visit the Modern Art Museum but unfortunately it was closed for renovation.

Today, we will visit La Boca with its colored houses. We should also pay a visit to an art gallery over there. We might also go on the riverside walk in La Boca/Recoletta. Its suny so we want to enjoy a day outside as much as possible!

I want to visit the Evita museum later this week since I dont know much about this important Argentine figure. It should be interesting!

Thats all for now since I have to run to La Boca with the girls.

A special thanks to Melanie, Ilkka and my mother for the nice emails received over the week end. I read it and they made me feel very happy....I will take the time to respond to each of you later on today or tomorrow. I miss you all very much...
