Buenos Aires

The time in the bus terminal in Mendoza was like a prison. We went to the downtown to eat at McDonalds some time, but otherwise we always stayed in the terminal. When the bus came it truly was our salvation.
In the bus we played bingo in the beginning, and later we got food. I slept almost all way to Buenos Aires. When we arrived in the great capital we got information at once about Hostel Pangea for 60 pesos per night for two people and internet for free. The hostel payed our taxi too, it was really good. In the hostel we took shower and later went out to see the parliament of Argentina and the Obelisk were we ate at McDonald´s, its vissible at many photos of the Obelisk, so Diêgo wanted to eat there. Later when it was dark we went to check Casa Rosada where the president herself lives. At our way home to the hostel alot of cars and peple made sounds, it was protests against the governement, the president is in Italy now while the coutry is in chaos.
This was all for today, bye!

Mendoza is beautiful. I was there in march when they celebrate the Fiesta de la Vendimia that its when the grapes grown up to produce wine or something like that.
After that we went to buenos aires. the city is amazing. Each district is different from the others. We rent apartment buenos aires near Palermo Soho. That area has the best places to eat.
