* What an adventure *

Hey everybody,
greetings from Buenos Aires. I have ended my 6 weeks Spanish course in Cordoba and last week I travelled to Buenos Aires to continue for another 2 weeks with the course. And... OH MY GOD!!! Anybody who hasnt been here yet...GO!!! It´s a great city for anybody. No matter what preferences you have, you will find it in Buenos Aires. Tango dancing couples on little plazas*no matter what tmie of the day or with day*, theatres, dance shows, tango and salsa classes with authentic teachers, rock bars, after office parties, horse races...now, i could go on for hours here but i hope this gave you a first impression of what BsAs has to offer.
Yesterday I actuallty went to a horse race. But since it was Monday, there werent too many people. Still I enjoyed watching the horses race by and seeing the jokeys prepare for the race.
But the best part was when Samira (a brasilien girl from school) and I started gambling. Of course we had no clue how it works, but with a little help of a nice Argentinien gentleman we managed to bet some money.
Since I didnt know who to bet on I chose my lucky number, 13... and who thought it would happen... of course number 13 won!!!
Unfortunately I only bet 2 Pesos, so I only won 9 Pesos...but hey...I WON!!!...
BUt the best part was anyway that by coincidence we met a woman who knows the jokey, etc. And since we both won, she took me by the hand and dragged me to the winner "podest". So, now I am on the picture with the winner horse, the jokey...and god knows who else there was.
Hopefully I will soon receive this picture and then I will upload it for you to see.
What a great adventure.

Hallo mein Lischen, ja, was man so mit Pferden und ihren Besitzern erleben kann!!! Das ist ja immer spannend. Auch wenn ab und zu ein paar erschöpfte Schutzengel zurückbleiben.
