the adventure begins

my flight from Miami didn´t take off til 1:20am or so, so I got in to Buenos Aires (from here on BsAs) around 11am. A private car drove me directly to my hostel for about $25...and then when I got there they didn´t have room! Luckily another hostel in the Hostels International chain was just 4 blocks away ( Tango City , and they had plenty of space. The cost is about $8/night, with breakfast AND dinner included, and they have all sorts of activities you can participate in. Tonight is a ´tango experience´but i´m not sure i´ll be up for much after traveling so i think i´ll find a tango show on my own later.

not much else to report yet except that BsAs feels like a European city so far, which means I feel comfortable already....and staying in a dorm-style room means i´m sure to meet some interesting people.

This is the house next door to the one he might buy (and his inspiration for renovations): From Nairobi, take 2 and this is the view from there, complete with giraffe: From Nairobi, take 2 (can you see it?) So good to get out of the city for a bit. This was the view on the way back to the hotel: From Nairobi, take 2 Pretty clo...

The Kenya office has an office assistant named Derek who's job it is to bring us all tea or coffee when we arrive, and at an appointed time in the afternoon. I can't get used to it. He's a sweetheart, though.
