Joel and I are currently sitting at our breakfast bar trying to do our homework (well I'm taking a break to blog) - it's been a while since we've had homework and it's not easy but we're really trying to throw ourselves in to it (writing about our families). It's been three days now since we started our Spanish classes and things are really moving fast. We finally feel confident ordering empanadas and beers, we know how to ask for places, directions, tickets etc.and we can hold a basic conversation with someone Spanish in a bar (our other piece of homework for tonight). We've tried to use our Spanish as much as we can but it's still tricky when, after we've practiced and practiced what we're about to say, the checkout girl asks us an imprompto question - we just look at eachother with fear in our eyes "errr... err... Si" - we really need to start using our frases utiles! 

Since I last wrote we've been trying to do some sight seeing and sampling the delights that Buenos Aires has to offer. We visited Evita's grave in Recoleta cemetery, the museum of beautiful art and the infamous floralis generalis (an impressive sculpture in the park). 

Evita's grave:

We've taken the opportunity to go to a parilla to get the biggest and most tasty steak you've ever seen and drink lots of vino tinto (Malbec is cheaper than water here!) for a very reasonable price.

Mmmm steak:

And finally, we've also managed to master the Subte in rush hour, not too different from the London underground - feels like home already!
