Welcoming Maisie into the world.

I bought a bike with the help of some Christmas presents! She is amazing- pink, with a basket, beach-cruiser style. I love her, and she is called Maisie. So to christen her, myself and two friends cycled to La Boca. This is on the other side of town so it took about 2 hours each way. We cycled through the city and saw the sites and then along the river to see the tortoises and then into La Boca. La Boca is an old part of the town painted in super bright colours. It is super touristy and loads of tango shows on the street, but its good to visit at least once. There is also the Boca Juniors football stadium which is the most famous club in Argentina and its where Maradona played and managed. We had an amazing parilla together to get our strength back for the ride home, we got the Parilla for two people so I cant imagine how many cows would be needed for a parilla for three people. Its common to get talked to by some interesting people but also some crazies, as you can see Nicole being talked to by a superbug. We never got to understand why he was wearing the costume but weirdly it feels slightly normal here and just part of the daily routine.
