Hotel Sarmiento Palace Buenos Aires

... it and decided to book us into a different room down the road to make up for it- obviously this was more expensive and we had to pay the difference aswell (dont use minihostel)! When we got there the stoned paranoid recpetionist questioned us through the letterbox claiming not to know anything about our reservation, as we stood getting soaked in the rain for a few minutes. Once he had let us in he remembered that he´d just got off the phone to them ...

... it was just so cool for me. They had a live orchestra that was on top of the stage so you could actually see them and then they had various dancing scenes and singing and it was just great! I highly reccommend this for anyone who travels to Buenos Aires. I think it cost about $100USD but it was so worth it!

... what i´ve paid previously, even had a joke of sorts with the woman behind the counter. Well, I did end up with like about .5 kilo of pickled tounge when I rewally wanted just a taste, but still the bill was $3. I´ve become quite the fan of lengua over the past little while (particularly the lengua taco from Tacqueria Vallarta on 24th St in the mission). Pickled it was very tender, very lean, prepared with onion, citrus and something resembling cheese which would have had to come in ...

... the house himself and has one other person working for him. The food was delicious and the ambience nice and relaxed. The rest of the week was spent looking around the city often with Paddy and Nikko as our guide/translator! We took in San Telmo market one Sunday which was very different and full of interesting stalls and street theatre. We spent a few hours in the park relaxing by the lake in the searing sunshine - apparently it was ...

... ll give me $25. And those are the nice cashiers. I got lucky and found a store that didn't mind giving me coins as change. My first week here, I was going to the cashiers from hell. They would freak out if I had a bill-- literally, and I'm not kidding here, they had to call the manager for 'cambio' (change)--complete with blinking lane light and all! So, the manager comes over, and the cashier asks for change, the ...

Well, that's it, were done with this trip. you can stop reading now, no NOW ok not really. We got back to BA after a ride on a highspeed jet-boat across from uruguay. we had some trouble with getting our hotels sorted out, but managed it in the end. honestly at this point it didn't really matter so long as we were able to spend our last few days together ...

... craze (music, mullets and mini skin tight jeans) began a couple years earlier and since then everybody and everywhere does it or plays it. What´s old is really new i guess. Among many of the friends Gabriel introduced us to, Josh - a dude from Washington, D.C.- ended up partying with us for the rest of the night. He is travelling S. America for a few weeks, and all through the night (more so the later it got), he felt the need to discuss or bring up his "ex ...

... to make it a slow day. We decide to walk to the Recoleta market, come back to rest for awhile before returning to Tango Tasso for a tango lesson and another tango music concert. Harvey plays Tango in Sky by Roland Dyens, a French composer, on this guitar. I take a shower and wash some of our dirty laundry. We walk over to the feria at Recoleta on this beautiful sunny warm morning. It is late morning and the booths are set up, but ...

... these stone buildings are mausoleums, but some of them are absolute massive and others are incredibly ornate. <br><br>You can't help feeling that the rich families of BA all compete to have the grandest resting place for their loved ones, but it must be said that there were some ...

... La Recoleta is indeed a "City of the Dead" with streets lined by miniature palaces where the distinguished and wealthy citizens of Argentina rest in relative peace. There is an extensive map at the entrance, and we plan out our route to see the last resting place of Eva Peron. It's not impressive, but very moving. Amongst other greats buried here are presidents and statesmen, sportsmen such as Juan Fangio, the Formula I race driver, and even Susan ...
