BA has treated me well... a fun, safe, beautiful big city that feels more European than South American. This is probably one of the most expensive stays of the trip and I think I still only went over the $30 daily budget one or two days... including dinning on fine steaks most nights and sampling many liter cervezas. The drivers are crazy (at least twice as crazy as the cabs in NYC) but every person I´ve come in contact with has been incredibly warm and welcoming.Went to an Argenitian folk concert the other night which was by far one of the highlights of the time in the city. The band we saw was Onda Vaga (check out band link http://www.ondavaga.com.ar/)
The hostel I´ve been at has a roof deck, perfect for socializing and drinking beers with people from all over the world. I´ve already met/toasted with people from 14 countries and counting.
Tomorrow I am off to Uruguay which I believe is really the start of the trip. The plan is to hop from town to town (if you can call some of them towns) up the coast. There is not a plan from there except to make it down to Patagonia while it is still summer. I´ll be traveling the next leg of the journey with a Swiss woman, Michele, I met here and who will likely get many good laughs as I struggle to speak this second language for me (she speaks 5).
