villa venus - there are no boarders, if you open your eyes.

finally we started through, after a tearful goodbye from our parents and a few last steps on european ground, we head off with the TAM-flight into the dark night - a very emotional moment, just unforgetable!

we were very happy to meet a few hours later the mammut crew of brazil with mario and his family in sao paulo, they showed us the city with a fast sightseeing tour. our personal highlight was the enormous x-mas tree by the park...by the way the one in rio is bigger...

but the real deal was the churasco lunch with 25 welldressed waiters draging around huge meatportions on spares and were very happy to serve you some wonderful chorizo, pollo, lamb or other carne speciality in your plate...after changing the plates about 7 times, we were ready to roll off to the airport. unfortunately too late, we arrive 20 minutes before take off on the check in, thanks to the TAM-vip-card of supermario we made our way to the seats - even without any extra charge because of our weight - and had a happy sleep to buenos aires.

actually we are strolling the streets of BA with tangosteps, drinking mate and wine in palermo, having a pitoresque footing around puerto madero, looking for evita in casa rosada and ....

...decided to buy a gaucho handy after seeing the offered public phones in the streets.

hasta la proxima
