Buenos Aires II

The ferry brought me back to Buenos Aires and at the border I had to pay a "multa" (fine) for not having the paper they haven't gave me at the border when entering.

Back in BA I went to Victorias place to see her again. We had two nice and innocent days together after which I decided to go to the south to see Patagonia. But this last night I stayed at her place we kissed the first time - so Timmy changed his plans and scrapped Patagonia and stayed in Buenos Aires for the rest of the time until his already booked flight to Auckand will take of. The weekend around the corner we made a roadtrip to "El Tigre", but ended up in San Pedro. By coincidence there was a country festival there as well. But we basically had a really good time with walking around, drinking wine, asados (BBQ's) and chilling. Really good times.

Victoria of course had to work during weekdays, so I had a lot of time to discover the hidden Buenos Aires by myself. I checked out more museums, more parks, a zoo, half a dozen movies in the cinema and so on. In the evening we usually opened a bottle of wine a cooked something or went to friends of her to eat there. During the whole time I got to know a lot of people, who are all really keen to get an PhD in social science - mostly to spread the words of Marx. Even though that's not particularly on my page, I respect there enthusiasm. It's better if somebody has a different political view, than no view at all - and maybe even better than the same view (still thinking about that last part). Victoria is also a Marxist and is actively trying to push public opinion towards her direction - also mine. I even went to one of the daily demonstrations against a KRAFT FOOD factory, which layed of a lot of people - even though I never quite understood the big deal about it...

I also interduced the real way of eating fondue to her friends (you use bread, not a slice of kiwi or something!!!), even though the pricey imported french fondue was not quite up to Swiss standards, it turned out to be a nice evening. That's also when I saw Jimena again with whom I traveled with in Mexico for some time. Georgina - Victorias flatmate is an actress in a low key theater in Palermo - so I also took a look at that. Even though I didn't understand too much of the words - the drama was apparent at all times and the Sado-Maso-Amazonian-Women mix was refreshing to the macho culture of Latinamerica.

I had a beautiful time in BA where I spent the most time on my trip so far. Victoria and me were talking and living together like we were together since years. Mate in the morning, wine in the evening and the nice weather of BA made it an unforgettable time that I already miss.
