As mentioned on our Uruguay postcard, we had one day in Buenos Aires on the 19th and returned on the 23rd. On our first day we went to the Recoleta area which is a very wealthy area with beautiful parks and monuments everywhere. You can see professional dog walkers with about 10 well groomed dogs on leashes. We also visited the cemetary. Sounds morbid, but it is the most amazing cemetary we have ever seen. Very wealthy families have their own small building like a tomb where their coffins are kept. So the whole cemetary is like a miniature town. Evita is buried there. Later we also walked around other districts such as Palermo....very posh, the Chelsea or Parnell of Beunos Aires. In the evening came a critical moment of our trip, time to find out whether the Argentinian steak was all it\'s cracked up to be. We went to a recommended local Parilla (BBQ) restaurant and found it packed with locals....a good sign. Stuart ordered the most expensive steak on the menu (a truly extortionate 2 quid) and waited with baited breath. He need not have feared, a huge, truly delicious, succulent, totally fat free steak turned up and he enjoyed one of his greatest culinary experiences! A good sign for the rest of Argentina. The whole meal for 3 including plenty of wine came to just over a tenner. Get the picture about Beunos Aires? During the next day we walked throughout the city and found discount tickets for an evening tango show and a light dinner in a intimate cafe/bar. We had a couple of bottles of champagne there with our travel friend, Deena who we met in the Pantanal. We were also joined by a couple of American guys who we met that day while sitting in a square having a glass of wine. Jo had accidentally ordered an awful sweet wine in Spanish and they were sitting at the table behind us, so kindly gave us what was left in their bottle of wine. We got chatting with them and told them where we were going that night, so they turned up at the tango bar, which added to our fun. The dancers and musicians were all excellent and the bar itself was full of atmosphere with wooden french style tables, candlelight and continuous live music and dancing . After a few glasses of champagne the 5 of us headed to another bar and then a nightclub before making our merry way home. We weren\'t quite feeling on top form the next morning! The next day we ventured into an area called la Boca, birth place of Diego Maradona and home to his original team, Boca Juniors. It is a working class area, so a little run down, but full of art, markets, tango dancers, more live music and colourful houses. An interesting place. Tomorrow we are flying to Usheria which is on the very southern tip of Argentina, the most southern city in the world.
