Buenos Aires, Argentina
During my first days in Buenos Aires...1. I noticed the city is less pretty and more gritty than, but just as intense and addictive as I had remembered.2. I saw Pope Francis posters and memorabilia everywhere. Typical 'our man in Vatican' syndrome but soooo cute.3. I noticed everything became idiotically expensive even with black market USD rates.4. I used street money changers to change money. It worked!5. I found empanadas were just as exquisite as ever...
