Trip to Argentina
November 20th, 2006
I am on vacation in Buenos Aires, visiting my friend Nima who was brave enough to actually move down here. The city is amazing, it reminds me of Europe more than any US city that
I’ve seen. People drive like in Naples, cars and bus are pretty old, an heritage from the hard times this country has been through. But there are also signs of a rebirth: many constructions sites, remodeling, and upbeat economic statistics.
The city is quite lively, with people walking and sitting in the cafes till 3-4am in the morning.
The food is also great, I think I’ve never eaten this much. No wonder many here have italian blood in their veins. On wednesday I’ll visit Mendoza, by the Andes. It is the wine producing region of Argentina, with the perfect weather for growing grapes. The wine of choice is Malbec, but there are also Cabernet and Merlot.
