Buenos Aires scores two!

The "Beeb" always seems to have good coverage of Argentina...but this was truly special in that two local stories got back-to-back stories on their front page.

If you've been here long enough, you'll have had experience with the cyclical lack of small bills and coins reported here.

THE PILLOW FIGHT, however! How'd we local bloggers miss that one!

I blame it on on Ian and Cintra being out of town.

UPDATE! Here's Alan Patrick of www.buenostours.com with the date/time stamps to prove he was all over the pillow fight before the BBC. Nice lookin' site. Thanks, Alan.

Hi Yanqui Mike. I´m a local blogger and I very much did´n´t miss out on this one - in fact, I think I posted the first report on the event :) Hope it is of interest...

Hey Mike,

Thanks for the update and the nice comment :) I had a little advantage over my compatriots at the BBC though - I only had to get a quick bus ride home to make the blog post...

Not such a bad looking site you have there yourself! I'll keep checking back.

Cheers,

Alan
