Well, I just got back from an amazing trip to Argentina and it was certainly one worth remembering. I managed to split my time between Buenos Aires and the Iguazu falls area, which was the highlight of my trip. Buenos Aires was a culinary treat and Argentina is known for producing great steak and excellent wine. I had fun sampling the many different steakhouses and wine bars spread throughout the city, maybe a little too much fun, and even got a taste of the Buenos Aires nightlife. And, as always, I managed to pop into the local Google office to get a taste of the local Google food and make some acquaintances along the way. This trip lasted five days, which was more than enough time to soak up the sites.
I began by spending a few days site seeing around Buenos Aires, and there w
as lots to see. The many parks and plazas, buildings with great architecture, and famous landmarks were enough to consume both days and give me a taste of what the city is like during the day. Buenos Aires is not unlike many South American cities in terms of wealth and language, however it has a culture that struck me as very European and the locals spoke Spanish with just a hint of Italian flare. No surprise there, many Argentinians can trace their heritage back to Italian and other European immigrants and are very proud of it.
I started the year with a promise to do more traveling which is one thing I truly love and I haven't slowed down since.
