Argentines and their steaks

I had my first Argentinian meat today - at the Galeria Pacifico (a large shopping mall known for its gorgeous painted ceiling at the Florida Ave entrance) - and despite being in a food court and $9US for the whole meal combo (with a bottle of water and salad), it was absolutely delightful. And coming from someone who rarely ever eats red meat, that's truly saying something. :)

Lunch with Sara, a friend's sister-in-law was followed by walking along crowded Florida Avenue, admiring the artists and finally taking a break from the herds of people in Plaza Fuerza.From there, I headed off on my own, indulging in decadent ice cream on the corner of  Florida and Lavalle, before walking along Puerto Madero and the center.

Tomorrow, I leave Mau (my host's) apartment and will head to a nearby hostel for the weekend. After some research into Colonia, I've decided to stay here so that Jed and I might be able to go there together, and have plans to meet up with some other couchsurfers to explore the Recoleta market on Saturday and go to a live music show Monday.
