Buenos Aires - the first days




Remember Miss Quito and Jen? Well, Miss Quito has gone international and we found her in Buenos Aires. Yes, we are getting together with our language school friends in Buenos Aires, a wonderful bonus to a wonderful city where Tango is in every La Boca corner and street cafes are in every block. We are staying in a small apartment in Recoleta for $325 a week. We are across from the Recoleta cemetary where Evita and many prominent political, wealthy, and miltary Argentine people are buried. Allan is posing with Evita, in fact. Dinner is always late 8ish or 9 ish... Last night's dinner was a tenderloin steak, Ravioli, Salad, bread, and a bottle of wine for $25. Clubs do not open until 11 pm. Today we walked around in our neighborhood and visited a butterfly museum/ art museum/ craft fair. Yesterday, we biked in South Buenos Aires and got a great history of the town. Soon we will leave on an overnight bus for Iguazu Falls... till later.
