Buenos Aires feels a lot like Melbourne when coming from Brazil. The city is very clean, functional and vibrant. Many things have the same cost as Australia, but some (such as food) are much cheaper. I have looked around at some canes and cuff links in various stores and markets but not seen anything worth buying.

I have had a couple of meals with some family friends here who have been most generous. I have had dinner at their house with the family and last night I was taken out to a restaurant for a birthday meal. There was even valet parking, a first for me.

I have purchased some new dancing shoes which I plan to put to use tonight. I think I am going to a social dance place which may have some sort of class at the start of the night. Or not, I will find out! I have been walking a lot lately and my knee/ankle are complaining so today I am taking it easy. To this end I am about to venture out to view the latest Indiana Jones film.
