What a city! I have to immediately recommend travelling here to everyone that I know. The food is incredible, every restaurant has a touch of class to it. You can walk around downtown at midnight and people of all ages are sitting down for dinner or drinks whether it´s Friday or Wednesday. The tango shows of Buenos Aires are more than I ever expected--sensual and alluring but as elegant and sophisticated as it gets--I was blown away. The architecture here which I´ve shown a few pictures of has that classic european look to it, like everything in town was built more than 100 years ago. The one small photo is the Maupu hotel that we stayed in while we were here--built probably 150 years ago with 30 foot ceilings, a little balcony, and a steal at only $19/night. We posted a few zoo pictures if you´re wondering why there is a camel and snake on our blog. The language here is distinctly different from the spanish in Guatemala, castellano they call it, (which unfortunately means Stacy and I don´t understand much of anything even after our classes in Antigua). To us it sounds like Italian and Spanish mixed together which quite frankly means it sounds cooler than either language on it´s own. The people here are plenty friendly as well but obviously in more of a big city way--caballeros and damas--and I feel the need to mention that la gente de Argentina, especially the women, are as beautiful as it gets. I had my first steak in almost 13 years since Argentina arguable has the best filets in the world, we drank the best red wine for next to nothing everynight (sometimes a little too much). Needless to say, I´m glad we came here and today we head to Ushuaia, the southernmost city in the world for some backpacking adventures.
