After the 6am arrival and finally getting over the jetlag we made it to a local steak joint - "Parrila Don Julio" - to start dinner at 10:30pm. Yup, that's what they do here. We showed up at this highly recommended corner restaurant to find a wait...at 10:30pm...luckily, they kick it off by offering a glass of champagne while you wait! Fast forward to malbec, some local appetizers, and finally....the delicious Argentinian steak. YUM. After munching down on the "ojo de bife" (ribeye) and huge plate of short ribs, we were done. At 1am. Yessir. A few local bars later and we joined the local crowd going home at 3:30am. Haven't done that in awhile. Talk about a lot of sleeping in the next day!
Anyway, the city of Buenos Aires is wonderful - tons of culture, lots to do, and overall, for a huge city, it is mellow. Could be a great place to spend a lot of time...hmmm...
In the meantime Lisa and I are connecting with a few friends and friends of friends who are showing us the city, giving us recommendations, and generally seem like good people to know. BUT, we have decided to start our journey outside of a major cosmopolitan city, and have a flight down to Ushuaia (the most Southern city in the world!) first thing tomorrow morning - let's go check out Tierra Del Fuego and Patagonia and see what kind of off-the-beaten path adventures are to be had...
'Til next time,
Scott
Ok, that's crazy, but i guess if you are jetlagged, your brain didn't know what time it was anyway!
ReplyDeleteExcited to watch your adventures unfold! -kp

We want to see some more updates. Have a great time at the bottom of the world.
