The curse of the backpackers.

Well, one day after we went to Iguazu, 2 tourists died there. And we heard from our tour guide yesterday here in Buenos Aires that the whole airport here broke down, all communication systems kaputt.

So we are beginning to get a complex that we are cursing things.

Anyway we will go to the airport today and try to get our flight to La Paz and then onto Cuzco in Peru. We are a bit worried about altitude sickness, we bought some medication here, let's see what happens.

We had a nice time yesterday in Buenos Aires, visiting La Boca (there's a guy there who really looks like Maradonna) and San Telmo. We found a wonderful locals restaurant and tucked into some steak and pasta. Later we visited the bizarrely grandiose Recoleta Cemetary, with some of the tombs bigger than Japanese houses. Then we tried an amazing caramel (dulche de leche) ice cream.

After that, and all the excitement of the last two weeks, we fell asleep at 2100 and didn't wake up until 800. We guess we were very tired.
