    Amen, the longer I've been down here the more I start to miss food from back home, even the crappy unhealthy stuff that I rarely ate in the first place. Especially on those days where I feel like if I see another milanesa sandwhich or anything with ham&cheese on it I'm going to puke.

    Last Minute Hotels in BsAs?

    3 stars. Se queda en el calle 9 de Julio, which seems about right downtown. Now I just need to figure out what to do with the weekend. My plan so far is to take the bus tour that visits all the barrios and figure it out from there.
