Last few comments about BA

You can see all my pics on Flickr, so I would add that the shopping is amazing. Lots of leather goods, of course, and the portenos are very fashionable. Most of the women are pretty tiny, so none of the clothes would fit me, but I did get a very cool pair of boots.

Tango shows, very cool, but make sure it is an actual tango show, some of them can actually be live sex shows, so you can imagine you figure that out pretty quickly.

We didn't get to see the soccer matches, but heard they are pretty crazy and worth going to.

We did cross the widest street in the world, Nueve de Julio, and that was amazing.

The Teatro de Colon was closed, so we didn't see any opera, and we didn't get to see inside the spectacular theatre.

Change the money through an atm, and then go buy a cafecito(expresso), and get smaller bills for the taxi. The taxis have been known to give fake bills to unsuspecting Americans.

Go, have a great time, wear comfy shoes, drink and eat lots, and try out your Spanish while you shop!

All in all, an awesome trip..
