Alright Folks, Wow, it took us some long hard days to get here but it is well worth it. Although a three hour flight from Ushuaia would have been nicer than four days of pure driving and free camping (camping around the back of service stations). However, we decided not to fly as we would have missed out on Puerto Madryn and spent about 300USD each for the sake of a few extra days in BA (that's Buenos Aires to you uncool people). BA is a beautiful city full of art and museums. Some parts are a bit dangerous but even those are worth visiting, like La Boca. Before 2002 Argentina used to be the most expensive country in South America with a very good economy. But due to matching their currency to the USD they were not able to compete with other SA countries and ended up with massive loans from the international banking community as their government did not want to raise taxes. In the end the country nearly went bankrupt and people were limited to withdrawing 1000USD a month, which crippled most companies that relied on cash flow to stay afloat. Thankfully all the corrupt officials were in the know and managed to screw the country over by taking all their money and some of others out before the news broke to the rest of the country. It is said that the upper classes woke up happy, the middle classes woke up working class, and the working class woke up without a penny. All savings were wiped out due to the fall in the national currency and only now is the country recovering. That long winded history lesson was trying to say that you can get expensive stuff for cheap in Argentina and especially in BA. Due to their previous economic strength BA is scattered with sculptures and museums. Even the central cemetery is worth a visit due to the overly ornate temples. The land there is the most expensive in all of Argentina and the hardest to get into. Unless you are someone very special or from a rich family you have to RIP somewhere else. Eva Peron is buried there but her husband, a twice president of the country, is buried across town in an unmarked family tomb. We found the cemetery somewhat disgusting. Apart from tourists being disrespectful by taking pics of peoples tomb, but also by the grandness of the tomb. With all the poor in the country even the dead have to show off by having huge tomb, and I mean huge. Some of the architecture was beautiful but when you are dead how important is it what you are buried in? We spent most of the time just chilling and walking around the city looking at the sites, we even visited a museum! BA is also home to the worlds widest Ave - its massive and has zillions of lanes but also plenty of green areas as central reserves. It works really well at breaking the city up. Although you are in the center it doesn't feel like it as you don't feel imposed upon by the buildings. BA is also home to the worlds widest river, The Silver River, you can't see the other side and is anything but silver. I asked why it is called the silver river and was told that is used to be but the rivers that flow into it from Brazil are very mucky and now have turned it brown. Nothing like blaming your neighbour for you're dirty yard. We do feel that we just didn't have enough time there to do all we wanted to do and it comes as the most highly recommend city so far. It doesn't have the grandness of NY but I think it is nicer and the people are very friendly giving it much more of a personality than any other city we have visited. Until nest time, Em & S.
