Well we have had another action packed day in Buenos Aires. We all meet early to be taken on a bus down town to visit the cathedral, Florida Street and Casa Rosada (Pink House). We had a tour around Casa Rosada and were able to go onto the balcony where Eva Peron gave her famour speeches. After we went to the Recoleta (Cemetery) where the high society of Buenos Aires are buried. Eva Peron is buried here and I thought she would have had a more elaborate tomb but she is buried along with the rest of the Duarte family. We then went along to have lunch at a Panqueque House (Pancake). I had a savoury one followed by a sweet pancake which was smoothered in Le Dulcheleche which was immense! The Rotarians who have taken us out have been so nice and fun and we had an interesting tour with them. We were also able to meet 2 previous GSE team members which was good and we all had good fun trying out our new Spanish words or what is now effectionatly known as our ´Spanglish´.
Tonight is my last night with Roberto Fontanella who is Gobernador de Distrito (District Governor) before we move onto General Rodriguez and onto a new host family. Everyone is making us feel so welcome whilst we are here, it is really amazing.
Well thats enough from me for tonight. I am waiting to meet Robertos grandson Fransisco who is one years old before having some sushi with Roberto. We are currently watching Le Boca Juniors playing football and the commentators are screaming their heads off!
Adious!
Sammy (as Roberto now calls me which my mum calls me too)
