Background: Yellow bulletin board paper.Title: "I'm Lovin' It!" Thanks for visiting! CPE ARTICLE A NOSTALGIC TRIP TO BA I arrived in the nick of time and managed not to miss my flight connection to Buenos Aires, the city of tango. I got my usual seat on the plane between the crying toddler and the overweight man, but I did not care, nothing was going to spoil my trip. There I was on my way to my favourite destination in the whole world. I could already smell the welcoming lunch with spit-roasted-pig and a bottle of fernet- the Argentinian´s national drink. But no sooner had I landed that I started to feel nostalgic. On the way to my 5-star rented flat in Recoleta, one of the most beckoning areas in town, I went through the city centre, where the sight of the traditional buildings made me travel back in time. As I got out of the van I was greeted by the friends I had not seen in years. Gustavo Albarracín
