Piso 2, Teodoro Garcia, Belgrano.

The elevator going to the second floor where i live in the neighbourhood of Belgrano.
I'm sitting in a cafe with wi-fi frantically belting out some posts and emails before they turn of the urgs....not sure if sometimes that happens because i've been here too long and am not spending enough money...?!
I have set myself an aggressive budget (as one of my students called it), $50 pesos per day. To put that in perspective, one cafe con leche can cost anywhere between $9 pesos up to $18pesos, depending on the establishment and the area.
I ordered a coffee and 3 media lunas an hour ago...about $26 pesos....time maybe running out.....
Have been to Uruguay and back and can now flash another 90 day visa in my passport. One hour by boat to Colonia, across the Rio de la Plata. Amazing. More about that later. And loads of pictures. Am still busy exploring the city, it could take a lifetime and, as Sandra put it, it is a bottomless cup.
