We were in Buenos Aires for two weeks last November and it was a fabulous trip. Every day we walked and walked, sometimes eight or ten miles a day, even though taxis were everwhere and very cheap.

Excellent restaurants everywhere serving the world's best beef and fine Italian food. Prices (converted to U.S. dollars)were so low it was almost embarassing. The most we managed to spend on dinner was $50 for three including wine and dessert.

Although there are no "world class" tourist sights, the opera house will knock your socks off and the Recoleta Cemetery has to be seen to be believed.

And, Escamillo, we would have met up with you but we were unable to contact you. We started a thread about the trip but you didn't post on it. We tried PMing you and emailing you. We even tried semaphore. But, alas, no luck. Maybe next time.
