I`ve worked in Argentina and visited Brasil`s Rio. I`ll take Rio. Buenos
Aires, which we called the city of darkness, if Paris is the "city of
light. Buenos Aires has provocative women where Paris has smart women.
The women in both cities are great! Argentina is the whitest country
south of Canada. They externinated their indigenous people while Brasil
imported slaves. These were emancipated in Brasil long before that
happened in the U.S.

Both B.A. and Paris have excellent food. The beef is better in B.A. If
the restaurant La Cabana survives, the beef is legendary. It is served
with a redundant sharp Bowie knife. It can easily be cut with your fork.
El Pulpo was famous for sea food. You may like McDonald`s freedom fries,
but B.A. has El Palacio de Las Papas Fritas. Never before seen such a
variety of ways to fix the fried potato. All good!

B.A. has a Texas Bar. as do many sea ports. It caters to sailors. For
seamy action it`s a sight to behold. B.A. has great shopping along a
pedestrian street closed to vehicular traffic. It`s La Calle Florida.
Hope Argentina has got a grip on inflation. Prices used to rise by the
hour.

Summer begins in B.A. in a couple of weeks.
B. A. is hot and humid in summer and cold and damp in winter. The
climate is almost identical to Houston`s. I felt right at home there.
Have fun on your visit.

Hi Richard,

Thanks, I am taking note of all recommendations! (Except for the
catering to sailors - I had wilder times in the Bible Belt of
Charleston S.C. when I was in Nixon's Canoe Club).
