Christmas day in Buenos Aires

25th December 2005

Our first day (which happened to be Christmas Day) was spent in Buenos Aires. We had a free morning to do as we wished, so Alison, Anna and myself went for a walk to get our bearings (and find the Money Exchange to get some Argentinian Pessos).

We then had a briefing with Donal, our tour leader, where we found out a little bit more about the trek and were formally introduced to the entire group. Following the briefing and some lunch, we were taken on an afternoon tour around Buenos Aires to see some of the sights such as the Estación Catedral and the Cementerio de la Recoleta.

Merry Christmas from Buenos Aires! 051225_0013-01.e.web.jpg	Ave 9 de Julio 051225_0014-01.e.web.jpg	The 'Obelisco' 051225_0016-01.web.jpg	051225_0019-01.e.web.jpg
