Days 11,12, and 13 in Argentina 07/30/08-08/01/08

I pretty much just went to class and then took cold medicine and slept. A group of us did find a great restaurant called Casa Blanca, in the Palermo SoHo neighborhood. We went there on the 31st and then again on the 1st. The filet mignon was excellent and the side orders were huge. The cost was less than $20 American per person, and I know that an equivalent meal in the U.S. would have easily been double or triple that amount. I should have taken pictures of the food, but I didn't think to take my camera. The cab rides to and from there were interesting, to say the least. Cabs are fairly cheap in Buenos Aires, but terrifying. Argentina has some of the most frightening drivers on the planet. No one observes the traffic lanes, no one ever yields to pedestrians, and driving is the only thing that Argentines do quickly. Everything else is slower than molasses.
