Buenos Aires Recommendations

Well, I'm back home and this will be last travel blog for a while. But I wanted to give everyone some links to things to do in Buenos Aires, the last stop on my tour. It's affordable and fun compared to any other city it's size in the world.

First, there is a recent New York Times article that a lot of you sent me with plenty of recommendations. My favorite way to find restaurants in BA, aside from asking friends, is the Guia Oleo Restaurant Guide. www.whatsupbuenosaires.com) is a bilingual guide to the city’s arts, music and cultural offerings. www.bue.gov.ar), the city’s official tourism site, has event listings, useful tips and directories. Another expat blog I found in the NYT article is www.tangospam.typepad.com.

If you want to learn Spanish, check my earlier posts for the two schools I've used.

Hopefully, you'll all hear from me soon on another adventure.

In Houston

Well, I made it. I had a relatively good flight and managed to sleep a full 8 hours. I sat next to a guy who grew up in California and Mexico and we talked off and on for a couple of hours in Spanish, which was a nice reminder that I can keep up what I've learned. I've got a few hours and then I'll be in Cleveland. 24 hours from now I'll be at work!

Last Day

Last night I went over to Ceci's new house for a cup of tea. I got to meet her son, Andreas, who is 11 but already a head taller than her. The new house is great. It's way in the back of the complex and has 3 private patios. There is probably moore outside space than inside.

After Ceci's, I met Sofia and David at the house of cheese, which, as you can imagine, has a ton of cheeses to choose from. After dinner we wandered to a nearby bar and sat outside while we had a couple of beers.






Today I did a bit of shopping and had a nice traditional Argentinian lunch at the Querencia. Now I'm justing waiting for the bus. By the time most of you read this I'll be in the US
