Buenos Aires

Where else can u get cigarettes for 3.5 pesos, cabs for 10 pesos, internet at 1peso/hour and get a 700g juicy T-bone steak with wine and sides for 30 pesos, including tips (Lm1 = 9 pesos) ...

And all this surrounded by buildings that could have easily fit in Paris or Rome, countless momuments, unique neighbourhoods and the occasional tango show on the street.

This might not be as simple as it sounds because u have to watch out for drivers especially bus drivers who drive oblivious to other cars and especially pedestrians. While doing this u have to be careful not to step on dog shit or hit a street vendor who will try and sell u anything from leather jackets to sweets, napkins or pens.

I have been round the city but one of my favourite spots is La Boca. Situated along a harbour, mainly settled by Italians this poor nighbourhood hosts the famous Caminito.
The colours around you switch you in a good mood as soon as u get there and if that doesn t work the live tango shows or the love for Boca Juniors and Maradona will.

Recoleta is famous for it´s cemetry where Evita rests in peace, or tries to poor soul, cause it´s one of the most photographed places you can imagine. All the cemetery is one work of art with some incredible sculpture.

One night we went to see a Tango show. Best Tango show i ever been to ...hehehit was also my first but seriously it was the best. The show was at Tortoni cafe, oldest cafe in Buenos Aires.

Well I can go on for ever but I´ll send some pics instead to try and give you a taste of Buenos Aires. And the meat you eat here. That picture is not at a butchers but a Parrilla named Des Nivel situated in San Telmo, and I am already best buddies with the waiters over there ..hehehe

I love Buenos Aires.
