Buenos Aires

We´ve spent a few days in Argentina´s capital and have found it to be a pretty vibrant place. The usual contrast of rich and poor with an architectural style that combines the best of italy and france. More cafe´s and taxi´s than any city we´ve ever seen, a fact that for me defines the place. Eating is a extremely important and happens at all hours, with most locals sitting down for dinner at around midnight and enjoying a meal that suffers no haste. The cuisine is obviously predominantly centered around their meat and even for me it was a bit much at times. Restaurants proudly displaying grills of meat in such abundance that would surely be put to better use feeding small African countries.

These folk also dress with raw extravagence and look down on tourists, such as ourselves, who arrive with limited wardrobes. They even ensure that their burial places carry their individual style on for eternity. The Recoleta Cemetary has more sophisticated architectural design than your average city and is probably worth more at the same time. Maybe the last 3 photo´s will give you some idea of what I´m talking about.
