Argentina!

 
Argentina! - Land of the tango...

and of the world's smallest horses!

of oranges in the city centre...

of the most comfortable buses we've ever travelled on!

of gaudy extravaganzas

and classical elegance

Of past and perched on heros

and remembered idols

of military history

and modern art

Of glittering opera houses

and of street theatre

BUT - more than any of these! - OF FOOTBALL!
and to be in Buenos Aires while Argentina was still in the World Cup was to see a city gripped and galvanised!
