We just arrived in the gigantic city of Buenos Aires yesterday (23 hour bus ride from Bariloche). The bus was non-stop through the night covering 1700 km, same distance as Vancouver to Regina. It was a beast.
Upon arrival, we jumped on their extensive metro subway system, with our 4 backpacks and bag of food in hand. There was a lot of staring in our direction to say the least, as we certainly looked out of place. Both of us being over 6 ft tall doesn´t help, but the good part is nobody would try to pick-pocket us because they know the 200 other people on the train are all looking at us, way too many witnesses….
Today we put on about 15 km of foot miles touring the city using the subway to leapfrog through the city. There is significantly more character in BA than there was in Santiago. There is no downtown, just endless bustling city in all directions, as far as you can see.
Tonight we took in another Asado (BBQ) put on by the hostel on the roof. They LOVE their beef, ranking #1 in the world for per capita beef consumption. I find it funny that they prefer the big slabs flanks, briskets etc, and pass on the t-bones and rib-eyes. (Fine by me, then I get all the Premium meat - If they laid off the wine maybe they would realize their mistake, all well, their loss ).
