Good evening,

I have just returned from a business trip to the Argentine capital, Buenos Aires.

The city is a really interesting mixture of British, French and Spanish influences, especially reflected in a wide variety of architectural styles.

The beef (grazed, grass fed like our own) is superb as are the red wines, especially their syrah and 'straight' malbecs. Managed to catch a travelling exhibition on the career of Juan Manuel Fangio, displaying some of his cars, trophies and other memorabilia. Interesting for a racing buff.

Check out my web gallery for a pictorial tour of Buenos Aires. Warning - 158 photos which could take a while to load on dial up. Sorry.

I found the people to be hospitable and welcoming, with special thanks to Horacio and Pablo for being such good hosts and guides and answering all of our 'dumb' tourist type questions. Apart from the food, the social highlight of the week was a visit to a Dinner & Tango Show event. The venue was outstanding and the performances superb. Highly recommended.

Bye for now, BomberBoy
