I want to be POST 200!
AVRooster, I know your "Real Buenos Aires" show a little of the bloody `90 I always talk about. Tsunami-Katrina plus all the disaster, natural or not have a name in Argentina meaning unemployment, industries closing down, railways destroyed privatization, poverty and the social phenomenon of "cartoneros".
Just to say something and to be post 200!

Thank you, Angie 200!!!! LOL!!!

I am going to be in Buenos Aires from 12th to 19th January and would very much like to take your tour - what is the possibility of doing this? I shall be staying at Casa Palermitano for the week. Being Irish I have a spirit of adventure!! Look forward to hearing from you.

Hi, Wonkyknee!

If you have read this whole thread, which is a requisite for taking my tour, you already know my e-mail address.

Please write to me when your travel dates are nearer, telling me a little more about yourself, but keep in mind that January is a peak holiday period for us locals and I may be away.

Have a great time in our town.

Staying at Casa Palermitano and going on the REAL Buenos Aires tour?

Sounds like your are following my footsteps because I did both on my last BA trip.

Enjoy both I did.

Hi, André!

I suggest you e-mail me to the address mentioned several times in the above posts.

I visited SA about 30 years ago. I hope to do so again, maybe when the rand weakens a little!!! LOL!!!

Hi AV.,
I sent e-mails to your e-mail address and have not heard from you.I will be in BS.AS. ON 5 Dec.until the 12th Dec.Please let me know where to contact you inB.As.
Regards Andre'

Hi, André!
I have answered immediately all your communications. I wrote to you on Nov. 22, 27 and 30. Maybe you deleted them.
This is what I said in my first reply, of Nov. 22: "Good days to do my tour would be Dec. 5 or 6. Tell me where I can call you, in other words, where are you staying in BA and the phone number. My tour requires meeting at 6 PM and you'd be back in town by 10 or 11 PM."

Great thread! bookmarking

A whole month goes by and no one asked about the REAL Buenos Aires tour? I hope avrooster is still giving them because I want my third strip for taking the "free" tour for a third time on my next visit to Buenos Aires.

About that "third strip", Bill, there are two problems.

One is that I have a bad knee in rehab after an operation. So, at this time, I have some difficulty walking.

Besides that, as mentioned in previous posts, the railway tried to cancel the "cartonero train" and was partly successful, meaning it apparently no longer runs in certain lines and still runs in others.

Yesterday, a veterinarian who has his business in front of the railway station where we normally get off the train when we do my tour, told me it was still running, but maybe not on the same schedule.

So, your "third strip" will have to wait until my knee is OK and we know for sure if the train is running and on what schedule.

Will we have to wait until next November to have you here?

I'm not Bill, but am planning a 2nd trip to BA in November, so I hope I can do the tour then. Of course, I hope your knee is all better way before then!

AV

I am really sorry to read about your bad knee. :( Do not worry when I come you just take care of yourself that is the most important. :)

But I am planning late November of this year. Spending less time in Buenos Aires and more time in the North, Salta and that region of Argentina. It will be my first visit.

Maybe I can at least shot one good photograph in Northern Argentina?

Angie can help you shoot thousands of great photos in our NW, Bill, by showing you the best places.

Hi AV,

I will be in BA for 2 nights (Feb 18 and 19 2008) and then again Feb 23. One person. Are you still doing the tours? I would like to get some more info on this please.

Thanks

wasmma,

You obviously have not read this full thread - which is one of the requirements of taking the tour.

Otherwise you would know
(1) How to contact AV to discuss setting it up
(2) That currently AV has a problem with his knee that probably prevents him from getting around at his normal pace

and other inportant info

raquel

raquel,

I have send an e-mail to AV and also read the entire thread.

You obviously can't read or type!!

wesmma

Peace!!!
I'll answer in full later. No time now.

First of all - sorry for spelling your screen name wrong and for misspelling important.

As well as not being able to type and spell, I am unable to read minds.

If you have done as AV asks, which you indicate in your second. message, he will get back to you.

Again - sorry since you feel I did a very poor job in replying to your question. I will not comment on your either grammatical error or perhaps typo... I'll just fade into the sunset
