We arrived into BA on Wednesday morning (around 4 am). we stayed at a hostel for just that morning - but then decided to find something nicer. spoiled, yes! we found a great hotel in San Telmo - the Don Telmo. San Telmo is one of the oldest BA neighborhoods. it reminds me a lot of the lower east side in NYC. Cool, trendy, yet sorta sketchy. I love it!
We met up with our inca trail friends, Jaime, Geoff & Jen the first night here to see a tango show. super cool. then, we went out until like 4 in the morning. This city is a SUPER LATE city. many restuarants don´t open until 8 pm for dinner and 10-11pm is the normal time to eat. last night, we ate at 11 and it was crowded! we have had our share of argentine beef. good, for sure, but i´m kinda done with beef right now!
yesterday, the olympic torch came through BA. we parked ourselves near the obelisk (a big monument in BA) and saw it come through. well, wait until you see the video i took. it was like being in a melee. i totally got manhandled by argentine police. but it´s all good. no big protests like in sf, london, paris.
today, we are going to mosey around again. BA is the city of walking, eating (late) and drinking. we love it! on monday, we go to uruguay for a few days.
cheers, monica + kieran
