Los Porteños oder Eine Begegnung der Argentinischen Art

Castilian
found to Delfor and Mara de Buenos Aires in Parque Nacional Sierra de las Jaws "and when they learned that their city was the next destination in our journey immediately invited us to their boat. It was a great day not only better met our captain but also learned how to steer a sailboat and talk about it using nautical terms. In addition we found that the locals spend their weekends with books and roast in the Paraná Delta and took pictures of Buenos Aires in all colors proque stayed until dark.
As if all this were not enough after the day on the boat we went to our friends locals where Mara had already prepared an awesome dinner: gnocchi with tomato and pesto, meat, flan with dulce de leche and more - that rich! It was so nice to be with this family that we stayed up late, chatting with the two and his son Ariel. It was early morning when we visited some beautiful neighborhoods of Buenos Aires antes de que Delfor y Mara nos llevaron al nuestro hospedaje.
Aunque nos dijeron que en Argentina es costumbre invitar a extranjeros, para nosotros era una cosa muy especial que vamos a recordar cuando hablamos del nuestro viaje por el mundo. Otra vez quisieramos decir gracias por tanta hospitalidad y simpatía. Y si todavía hay alguien que reduce Argentina a Maradona, Evita, tango y bife, que vaya a conocer a Delfor y Mara!

Waehrend ich bei schoenstem Wetter mit einer albernen Regenmuetze behuetet das Ruder fuehre, faengt Michi gutmuetig grinsend den Sonnenuntergang ueber Buenos Aires ein. Delfor lugt mit einem Glas Whiskey in der Hand forth from the cabin and asks with a wink: "Better than Boca Juniors?" "Who are Boca Juniors?" I reply.


Initially, involved had been planned that we are on Sunday in the championship match against Boca watch racing. But the ticket purchase erwiess as complicated and costly. Boca Every game is sold out for months and as a "quick decision" to get there only through agencies that have been secured in advance of tickets, the stadium. The fun, however, will cost 60 euros. In a country where the cost of a 300g steak 5 €, a rich Patzen money. Here we wanted Delfor even at the ticket purchase to help you and we almost would also be a few places Maradona sat next to when this would be not in the Rehab Delfor's friend and two colleagues would have not been invited to the game.

As we could only think that Delfor's invitation to a sailing only would be a polite phrase meant. Although, as often happened before that a two strangers encountered 1,000 kilometers from Buenos Aires on a tour through a national park and that they had changed less than 10 words, your business card into his hand and say, " Here is our home number. Call us if you are in Buenos Aires, then we go on the weekend together on our yacht! " Only when Delfor disappointed on our phone cancellation responded, we recognized our Fehleinschaetzung. And so we found ourselves again on Sunday morning in a commuter train to San Isidro marina.


The next eight hours we spent on a 30 foot yacht on the Rio de la Plata. Delfor provided us with sandwiches and whiskey, while we steered his boat through the delta and sailed along the skyline of Buenos Aires. So that we know to express ourselves in the future on the seven seas and always right, gave us Delfor also a dictionary of nautical terms in ten languages. It was only after the deep red sun sank behind the Haeuserschluchten the city, we returned to port. As if the day is not already completely been bestand Delfor auch noch darauf, dass wir in seinem Haus zu Abend essen. Seine Frau Mara, die aus gesundheitlichen Gruenden nicht mit an Board war, hatte inzwischen ein 3gaengiges Menue vorbereitet - Gnocchi mit Tomatensauce und Pesto, Steak mit Kartoffelpuffern und Flan de Manzana con Dulce de Leche (schmeckt so gut wie's klingt). Um 2 Uhr frueh chauffierten uns die beiden schliesslich den langen Weg zurueck zu unserem Hostel - allerding nicht ohne uns zuvor noch die nobelsten Strassen von Buenos Aires bei Nacht zu zeigen.

Das vielstrapazierte
Stereotyp Argentinier seien ueberheblich koennen wir bei Gott nicht bestaetigen. Delfor und Mara waren der Gipfel der Gastfreundlichkeit, die wir bislang so oft auf unserer Reise could enjoy. But even before we had made with the Gauchos but good experiences. Argentina is not just Maradona, Evita and giant steaks. Argentina is also hospitality to the square.

My Knee Itches Like Crazy

Das Lied von den Mendoza

From the logbook of MIHA TREK Stardate 26.04.2007-23:45


On the bus ride from Santiago
we enjoyed the views of Aconcagua.
were then on we showed the pass
and asked 'are driving us to let the Mendocinos'.


steaks without end, red wine in moderation
and dirty buses race through the city streets.
And then all at once, so small is the
world we live with Luke and Amie at the same hotel.


Mendocinos, Mendocinos,
know how she's living the Mendocinos.
But be careful on the bus, because it does happen that they
klau'n you something, the Mendocinos.


We drove on in the 'Sierra de las Quijada'
a great canyon, unfortunately, one hears of it 'nada'.
But our guide, a talent for True
led us to the park and cut my hair.


Mendocinos, Mendocinos,
they live quite comfortable, the Mendocinos.
'Do Istas' here, behind every door, but friendly
all, the Mendocinos.


Mendocinos, Mendocinos
