First stop, 24 or so hours after dropping off Boo at his holiday home, was Buenos Aires.
Capital of Argentina and associated with Maradona, protests and public demonstrations, Evita, dulce de leche, fileteado, the River Plate, ice cream and tango.
Oh yes, and beef. Vegetarian/vegan food was not easy to find.
With no obvious centre, Buenos Aires has a number of very distinct neighbourhoods, including Recoleta, with its European feel, architecture and cementario, San Telmo, one of the oldest comminities in the city offering a wide choice of tango clubs and the lively and colourful, if touristy, La Boca.
Most areas were largely walkable though it was very hot and street crime (tourists are a main target) is a real problem. I have to admit I didn't fall in love with Buenos Aires but it was worth visiting and handy for catching a flight to our next destination: Tierra del Fuego.
