Dinner time in Buenos Aires
There is a certain quality about traveling that one must get accustomed to, and that is adapting to habits of the area you¨re in. When in Buenos Aires, this means following the schedule of the locals and eating dinner around 11 - 12 at night- that¨s right, 11 - 12 at night.
Since being in Buenos Aires, I haven´t managed to get to bed earlier then 2:00 )and this was on a good night.).
A basic night out can be summed up as:
7:00 - 8:00 - Have a drink and possibly some snacks.
9:00pm - Take a shower
10:00pm - Go out for a drink or two and appease your stomach with a light snack
12:00am - Grab dinner somewhere
Last night was the latest-or earliest if you´re so inclined to be ´technically correct´- that I was out for dinner. Tim )a friend of Chris who arrived yesterday), Chris, and I all decided to tempt fate and partake in a Futbol match. The game, Argentines Boca Jr´s. against Brazil. What a match. I have never experienced a time, place or situation where I was so inspired by fans. The stadium is sectioned into for distinct seating areas. On either far ends of the stadium are where the rowdy fans-or to be more PC ´Lively fans´- are caged. In the middle of either of these sections are where the more sedate, observers sit. Being inside a stadium, where you are able to safely experience both a wonderful futbol match as well as be immersed-at a distance-from all the rowdiness, was truly amazing. The final tally Argentine 4 - Brazil 1. What an amazing game, what amazing energy!
After the Futbol match, we went home, cleaned up and then headed to Palermo- a city considered to be hip and trendy... a city that I consider to be hip, trendy, lovely, and filled with incredible restaurants. We finally sat down to eat at about ... The current keyboard I write this with is atrocious. I can{t use any of the appropriate keys!... one thirty. About 2 hours later, our stomachs filled with Argentines best and spending about 20 American apiece, we were full. The qulaity of food in this city is amazing, and the strength of the dollar makes going out just a sheer pleasure.
