... Really, we just spent a couple of days chilling around the city rather than doing anything exceptional - sometimes, it's good just to stop and put your feet up. <br><br>Thankfully, we finally found someone who would ship the painting we bought in Chile without an authenticity note from Buenos Aires. Over the years we've shipped paintings back from about a dozen countries and Argentina has been far and away the barmiest postal service...even dealing with Cuban Customs was easier!<br><br>

... and chatting about the busy day we´d had. I was facing away from the street and telling MY adventures to Sammie, who was facing the street. She stopped me in mid-sentence about halfway through my story, said, ¨Melanie, I´m listening to you, and I want to hear your story, but please turn around and look at that.¨ I proceeded to turn around and saw what I can only describe as a Disney cartoon that had come to life. (Some background ...

... edge of the table. Not that my family really cares, but they said it´s protocol if you´re eating in public. And it´s true too. you can always tell an American. He or she is the person with their hands in their lap, inviting questions from the Argentines staring at them. Well, I´ve got to go now. Mom´ll be cooking dinner in about an hour and we´ll be eating in about two (haha, the point is that it´s already 8:00 PM). And I don´t want to ...

... of seasonings, and then she dipped it in some kind of breading and baked it (although it´s normally fried). Mm mm mm... Let´s see... Friday night, she made gnocchis (a dumpling-like thing made out of dough from mashed potatoes and some kind of flour) with a tomato and cream sauce. Yum. Saturday night (last night) she made empanadas (for which Argentina is famous). And apparently SHE´S famous for her empanadas too. For good reason. They ...

... all still in bed as it was well early! A local then stopped me and asked my why I was taking a photo of the beautiful old hall building! I told him I didn't speak Spanish but he must have translated that as, I speak perfect Spanish please talk to me and ask me as many questions as you can!! All I could do was nod and smile but that seemed to be enough for him as he kept smiling back at me. He was a great looking weathered beaten old man and I really wanted to take a photo of ...

... girls took the cabs from us :-/ Weird! You can imagine, how happy we were after we got home - in a car, instead of walking for an hour or so! The next day was perfect to feast on Argentina's biggest chain restaurant "tenedor libre" = all you can eat. We stuffed our faces in the numerable dishes offered and dicussed how fine Rosario is. Yup, Rosario is a great place to be!

... they are generous when it comes to friends but very stingy with money in an overall sense as they are always *****ing about prices and they always somehow find the cheapest way to do or see anything, it`s a fabulous skill which I definitely don`t possess). These guys are a great time and I start ripping on them right away. The cooler someone is the sooner and more often you can make fun of them. This is basically how I judge people on the coolness ...

"The basement where all your stuff is stored has flooded with sewage." What qualifies as a flood? My childhood house flooded during a hurricane and that was two feet of water in the basement. Is there two feet of urban black gold marinating all my possessions ...

We stayed with A&amp;C for 3 or 4 days. They were good to us. Adán gave us some great counsel for traveling smart. We had many great conversations with them and their guests over the next few days. Adán worked a bunch with Mike to help him learn the language as well, gave us great food, welcoming place to call home for a few days, a t-shirt for each of us and our own little mate to carry around, helped us make travel arrangements ...
