Buenos Aires
After an exciting flight in which the pilot aborted the landing just before the wheels touched down due to strong winds and flew to another airport just a a major storm was starting we arrived in BA.
We started our tour at the Rose Palace where Evita gave her famous speeches to her people and then went to her museum where we learned more about her life.
Went to a Tango Show
And ... watched the 24th March demonstration of support for the 30000 people who disappeared during the 1970/80s military government and who are not forgotten.
Tomorrow (25th March) our great adventure ends and we fly back to Manchester.

We visited the Government buildings but being Easter weekend it was shut.
We had lunch in the crowded Le Boca district

Dear Gerrish family, looks like you all have had many excellent adventures. I wonder where you are now... :)
I'm Julianne Gerrish, by the way... I live in the U.S. I wonder if we're related, perhaps.
I'll keep checking up on you all, to see where you're headed next.
