We did a lot of walking around town (stayed in the Emperador across from Estación Retiro) and there were certainly crowds of them on Av (Calle?) Florida and along Av 9 de Julio (24 lanes of traffic as I remember with trying to cross from the Opera house Teatro Colón). In the back of my mind was that Buenos Aires enjoys the world's highest pedestrian death rate. One large truck replaced it horn with the sound of someone screaming. (The memories are starting to flood back.) It was strange to see Spanish headlines about the capture of Saddam Husein in his spider hole. An out-of-America experience much like the evening when I was standing on the quay in Acapulco, waiting for the Liberty launch back to my ship, and a wave of talk spread through our group that Nixon had just resigned. However, returning to pretty girls, when I was in Caracas ten years ago, I was told the poor lived up in the hills that surround the city like a fish bowl and the girls got plenty of exercise climbing them. Gave them Miss Universe figures. As for Buenos Aires hospitality, too much food (huge steaks) at the wrong hours. When we went to a restaurant at 9PM, it was like we were arriving for high tea. How gauche of us. Later, we were satisfied to enjoy empanadas in the late afternoon and call it dinner. We also took the train from Estación Constitución down to La Plata to see the Catedral. Dinner nearby was Wiener Schnitzel. Enjoyed walking through Recoleta (and seeing the cemetery). Also got out to Abasto to see Carlos Gardel's neighborhood (love his Tango, his singing gets better every year). It was great! 73's Richard Clark, KB7QHC |
