March 25th - Takes Two to Tango



San Telmo, huge market on Sunday's, tango in the streets, wonderful old colonial buildings and an extremely atmospheric restaurant - El Federal. My plan, walk for miles and hope exhaustion would give me a quiet night. Unfortunately, my mother is far too fit. All she seems to need is a bottle of wine in the evening to refuel.

Again, i'd opted for a tourist area, but it is definitely a tad different to Covent Garden. Gentle introductions are the way forward before risking the carnage of the centre, arriving on the weekend is also a good idea - much calmer (during the day!). She has immediately adapted to the strong coffee and media luna breakfast, followed by a stroll another strong coffee another stroll a long lunch and a gentle amble home.

The flat is amazingly quiet and a perfect place to glug the odd bottle of wine and just generally relax.
