put and first dia


hola! buenas!


well, here we are in the very centar of bsas=buenas aires (from now on always i will use bsas), in small cool place "hostel avenue" on av de mayo, avenue beetween two big main squers: plaza del congreso and plaza de mayo...

trip was quite ok, we were traveling by big plane and enjoy milan's airport with nice advertisements and shops around...also what was interesting even well known is that we travel from 21:45 until 6:40 but 12 hours...all in dark...there were only lights of bsas when we were arriving...huge city was waiting for us!

from airport to downtown we've used bus 86, as we were told to do (by a friend adm and by lp=lonely travel planet guide book our truthfull companion). 86 runs one and a half hour until reaches the center, going strait via one of the main boulevard av rivadavia and where numbers decrease from outside of town starting with smth. like 12000!!! we took off at 1200 near plaza del congreso and soon we found a hotel..that short walk already announced that huge city is also nice and enjoyable...

main activity of first day was looking for boca juniours stadion "bonbonjera" and hopefully find and buy tickets for sundays city derby boca juniors-racing...so we went by metro to its last station on constitucion train station sitting on the border between bsas parts: boca, constitucion, san telmo and monserrat.... at that very moment we didn't have better map then one in lp and gps was still off (we forgot about it, xexexe) so misha brought us there analysing small map and waching around for some signs...so we found it and here are some results....




this is beautiful part of town, full of athmosphere ...people around already getting prepared for match tommorow, young generation of boca players playing around, blue and yelow houses and stores around, seling dresses, caps, flags, scarfs, shawls... and of course non official ticket sellers, so we bought tickets and today will be there....

on the way back on the mention border near train station we sow football nation on work....youth playing footballl under the highway...



afterwards we proceeded to san telmo, fency part with lot of antique stores around, sat for coffee and enjoyed worm day....on walking home we saw av florida full of people, bought good map and now i have to leave...moreover i will not succeed to send this now but it is almost prepered....

right now, day afrter (30.04), morning (7:30) we have more to tell but bsas also needs to tell us a lot, so for impressions of yesterday, second day you will have to wait...

hasta manana!
adios!
