Back BsAs

Back in Buenos Aires, we did more exploring. Sunday was THE day for a huge flea market/crafts fair in an area known as San Telmo. This place shuts down on Sunday. It consists of blocks and blocks of people selling everything from old junk and magazines to cowhides, and clothes, and handmade jewelry. You could find anything here I imagine.

We went to more art galleries including the MALBA, went to most of the major monuments now that it wasn’t raining, and ate dulce de leche ice cream when we could.

Our last dinner was at a recommended and cool parilla(steak house). Upon entering, you see wine bottles on shelves lining the wall of the restaurant with writing on the labels. People were occasionally allowed to put a bottle on the wall and decorate as they wanted.

We found a bottle on the wine list called “Finca de los Nobles” so of course we bought this hoping we’d get the chance. At the end of our meal, the waiter(best we had in Argentina) asked if we would sign the bottle for the wall. We of course highlighted the Nobles, added small map of TN and a star near Murfreesboro, and wrote Go Vols! Much classier than the “Roll Tide” that was carved in a bathroom stall from a previous dinner.

After a few more days in BsAs, its time to head home. Back to reality, the real world, work, and steaks ¼ the thickness and must less tasty. Anyone know about importing cows?
