So, went to La Boca yesturday, its this crazy coloured suburb that is supposed to be the centre for all things creative... it was just tourist things, like tango dancers ,not dancing but just going around asking if you want a photo of them in a tango pose. i didnt. for all i know, they cant even tango. then there were just heaps of tourists and it didnt feel that welcoming. so we left for town, ( on the busride back into town the breaks on the bus made noises like we were in the belly of a whale) we were going to go see the Catacombs but they were closed coz there was some kind of protest happening down the street. Then we were going to go to see a mall that has a huge stained glass roof but it was too hot and too far away so we skipped it. i was going to go see that jurasic world thing but i decided to do it today instead. It was just way too hot to do anything , and now i completly understand the idea of a siesta :D we came home to the hostel and mosied around ehre before going out for dinner (i had egg cheese and tomato sandwich, just so you know ) and then we went to this amaZInG drumming show in town somewhere called La Bomba de Tiempo. It was incredible , there was about 20 guys and girls, and a conductor who had all these crazy hand signals and danced and they all knew what to do. Apparenltly its all impromtue but is was so impressive that i cant believe it! The only thing that i didnt enjoy was the huge mosh pit. The concert was in this huge big courtyard thing , and its on every monday , but it was still packed to the walls with ppl... i guess a lot are tourists. The girls infront of us were amican and kept taking photos of themselves...it was weird.
But over all twas incredible, and Claire bought their cd.
toady we are checking out of this hostel and filling in the day before taking a 17hour busride to Iguaza falls. the waterfalls apparently have a lot of negative ions so it makes you feel happy. Theres also a lot of insects and yellow fever so we´re going to up our guard on the ol´insect repellant etc.
hopefully we are going to stay at a hostel that has a pool, that would be nice.
