La Casa Rosada - an apt name for the presidential palace: a huge pink building in the centre of Buenos Aires. Over the past weeks, we have been following an unusual drama on the evening news: the power struggle between the Argentinian presidenta and the chairman of the Argentinian cental bank - resulting in the chairman losing his job, and the presidenta gaining access to cental bank reserves. Finally, we see where all the action is happening! (This is not quit the end of the story, the drama continues at time of publication).After weeks in the Patagonian wilderness, we enjoy the atmosphere of a big city. We walk down the busy shopping streets, enjoy the delicious offering of American restaurant chains, get haircuts and manicures, visit art museums, and have dinner in pleasant squares where couples dance the Tango.
