First town in Argentina
... a gaucho (cowboy) and she had a frilly dress so that made up for the noise. The steak was fine but not very peppery and the Malbec from nearby vineyards in Cafayate was disappointing. However, our beer came in cactus shaped coolers- classy!
We finished our night with some karaoke. We felt a bit sorry for the people there celebrating a
