Buenos Aires at last

23 Mar 2007

Arrived at last. An exciting journey with delay at Gatwick for Madrid  Aerolineas Argentinas, through their agents Air Comet, allowed one hour between flights, stranding its passengers in Madrid for 24 hours. But team spirit prevailed, with Patricia, Lucy, Maria, Lura, Geoffrey and me supporting each other through the luggage-less stop over. It was reminiscent of war-time spirit - but I was not Winston for a change. Letting go, I left it to others to make the speeches.



Now I am in barrio San Nicholas. What an interesting and animated area. The apartment in Tucuman is great, with a warm and reassuring introduction from Cecilia, my landlady. She is young and glamorous and not at all what a landlady should be like!
