In Buenos Aires - en route ....

We´ve been here for 19 hours already - 10 of that sleeping!  Yesterday we arrived at 11am - we unpacked, walked and explored - showered and slept and went to an amazing concert. 

Jazz & tango - we ate there too - an Argentinian steak!  The concert started at 10pm with the jazz band - cool and exciting.  The tango band started at 11.30pm and finished at 1pm. 

The leader of the band was Leopoldo Federico - a bandoneon player (well known and loved here) - there were also 4 violins, cello, bass and piano and 3 other bandoneon - spectacular and all in Spanish!!  A bandoneon is like an accordian.

Breakfast was at 11am - no need for lunch - we walked about 4 hours this afternoon and now we´re ready for another tango concert - tonight´s includes dancers!!
