We have now left Buenos Aires and are in Iguazu. Buenos Aires is a pretty cool city but I am glad to have left. By the end I was finding the crowds and the pollution pretty taxing. We spent yesterday doing a whole bunch of touristy things as you do. We visited a pretty amazing cememtry where some presidents and generals and whole bunch of important people were buried, probably the most note worthy was of Eva Peron (the person who the movie Evita is about). Her grave still has the most visitors to it and was overflowing with flowers. We also went to La Boca and visited the stadium and the museum there. For those who don´t know Boca Juniors was Maradonna first team and probably the most popular soccer team here. Martin was in heaven and I found it pretty interesting too. What I found most interesting though was that these two places are the opposite side of town (I have an interesting story of trying to negotiate the bus system), one rich with lots of beautiful parks and statues and the other one very poor. The contrast was startling I have to say and of course quite sad. At the same time Boca is a city of passion (you can feel it) and of community, people gathered around fires together under the bridges whereas on the other side of town people walk along in their trendy clothes and on their phones and try not to look at you. We also visited the big cathedrals and parliament house. It is pink so people called it the pink house. That made me laugh. In one of the catherdrals was the tomb of Jose de San Martin. Again for those who don´t know he is considered the liberator of Argentina, Chile and Peru so we were moved to be there especially Martin of course.

In the evening we took an overnight bus to Iguazu which we arrived at, at about 2.30. It a gorgeous little town, has an alomosty coastal feel. It is nice and warm which I am enjoying so we had a pleasnt afternoon sitting in an outdoor cafe, Argentina style eating and drinking beers. After a nap we (I am still struggling with the time differnces) we have come out and are off to try and find somewhere we can dance and then tommorrow we´ll be off to the waterfalls. I´ll let you know soon.

I am sorry that there are no photos. I can´t seem to work out how to do it and the internet here is so slow that it drives me mad trying.
