There's Something in the "Buenos Aires": Photos 21 to 32

When Galib said that we should go to Buenos Aires for our honeymoon, I jumped at the idea. Good food, good wine, warm weather, and a place where neither of us had travelled before.

Little did I know, how good the food & wine was, and how beautiful the weather would be. Temperatures averaged 30-35 degrees. Sure it was hot & humid, but the air conditioning and park lined trees balance that out.

Argentineans are so friendly. Surprisingly, several people speak English, so getting around is not a problem. Spanish is a lovely and romantic language and easy to learn. The easiest phrases one should know are: buenos dias (good morning), buenos tardes (good afternoon), and buenos noches (good evening). Practice rolling those "r's". RRRRRRRRRRRrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. Also to note, remembering which "buenos" to say becomes increasingly more difficult after consuming several glasses of Malbec, but, rolling those "r's" somehow mysteriously becomes easier...

Several small cafes line the streets and not one of them is a Starbuck's. Astonishingly, Starbuck's has not monopolized the South American market yet. One of the most famous places for coffee is La Biela, which is at the corner of Quintana Avenue, near the Recoletta cemetary.
