First Impression of Buenos Aires

After a looooong flight with Lufthansa from Frankfurt I finally landed safe and sound in Buenos Aires. We flew past Dakar in Africa and over the big country of Brazil. All in all it took about 13 hours and 45 minutes and we arrived on time. That's almost twice as long as the SAS direct flight between Stockholm and New York! I was trying desperately to kill time on the plane, watching a handful of movies, listening to spanish lessons and reading spanish books, but still, it was hard. Note to self - bring a very exciting Dan Brown type of book next time.

The vibes I have been getting so far here have been friendly, relaxed, and yet organized and modern. The Art Factory hostel in San Telmo is very artsy and cool! A lot of paintings and nice decor, a roof top terrace with a grill, and all the practicalities you need.

My goals for today are to go check for a local cell phone and try to make first contact with the spanish and tango schools.

I'm very excited to be here!
