Buenos Aires/Iguazu/Patagonia: Days 1 to 2 - Buenos Aires

---

We started our Argentina/Chile adventure in Buenos Aires on Feb 15th. After experiencing Chicago's beautiful snowy 25 degree weather, we were a tad shocked to be hit with the 90+ degree tempurature in BA. We spent our 2 days here walking around the city, enjoying the antique shops in the neighborhood of San Telmo, time worn mausoleums at the Recoleta cemetery (where all the rich BA folks throughout history spend eternity), and the wonderful Italian food (as vegetarians we needed to find a substitute for the mounds of steak the city offers). Overall BA was a typical "big city" and although fun for a day or two, we were excited to move on to other things

Completely agree
Completely agree with your assessment of BA. It's a nice girl, and I'm glad I went, but I wasn't amazed and was eager to see the rest of the country.
