We arrived back in BA, it felt like coming home, the noise, the smells, the sheer amount of people. We're staying in San Telmo, the hip, boho area, in a room above a bakery. The owner, Jorge, is a friend of Cecila's (our spanish teacher). He doesn't advertise the room, but it's full about half the year. That's because it's a really old house, and we get a big room and a big plant-filled terrace. Sweet.

So the other thing this weekend here was the carnival. Not the same as Brazilian carnival, which is faster, this is Murga, with different groups of dancers/drummers/singers from different parts of the city. Each weekend in February there are 30 different carnivals in different areas and tonight and tomorrow they're all in the centre of the city.

Sadly, for these guys, Saturday was unseasonably cool, 20C and less as it got to midnight.
