Argentina: Glocks and Glands

Day travel and one: 


Always check your bags when you borrow a bag from someone BEFORE you travel. Dont let TSA check the bag before you gave it a solid search  

That bag may have something in it you don't want to travel with. Like a loaded Glock 40 clip. 

Apparently if you just have the bullets and no gun, it's just a fine. So no biggie. And it's amazing how well that loaded clip hid itself in the bag

Right before that little bit o fun. Had to rebook return tickets a few days early for work. Got upgraded to first class, but had to come back 4 days early. Almost a wash. 

Landed in BA, got a cab then scored a hotel room. The V&S hostel. I recommend. Then naptime. 

Then I ate a steak. #1 for the day and I learned I should eat this organs in BA. Glands, entrials- all that. It's Luke watching the Tango. You just have to do it

Now I'm tired so into shorthand. 


Museum. Modern. One highlight were two people (real live gorgeous people-everyone is gorgeous here) in a bedroom, in bed reading each other stories. It shook me to the bone. 

$4 bottle of wine (honestly, better than museum)

Entertained by a poodle with lots of character (also better than museum)

Lots of walking. 

A beer by a good looming cemetery that will be visited tomorrow. 

A shower. 

Another cab. 

A glass of wine in an Italian restaurant. (no Italian food in BA for me)

Then one of the best meals of my life. 

Goat sweetbreads. 
Cheeses and Malbec

LITERALLY the best steak I ever  had. In a place called CHILA (best joint in Buenos Ares 2 years running according to the staff)

The waiter gave us travel advice while the busboy gave him hell. He spoke of a magical place to have dinner on top of a mountain. Only able to reach by hiking and mountain bike. He said it was good. We promised him we would find it like it was his long lost father. 

Then a ride with a lost cabbie that called me the "university of phonetics" after I butchered his language a bit. 

After a full day in atlanta, a 10 hour flight and a 16 hour day in BA, I'd have to say I like it
