Upon further reflection, we feel that our entries have seemed too negative. In fact, we are having a fantastic time. The people of Argentina and Uraguay have been extraordinarily helpful, kind and laid back. Buenos Aires feels very European, but very down to earth as well, a fine mix of old world and new.
However, we have a few more negative comments before we can tell you about the lovely markets, and beautiful gardens, fine restaurants and cute ferral cats.
We´ve been duped. In a Dramamine-induced haze we failed to recall some quite pertinent and useful advice a la Lonely Planet. Caution when giving a taxi driver large bills...they might switch the bills on you and give you a counterfeit bill in return...
um, that´s exactly what happened to us. And we didn´t realize we´d been duped until we tried to tip our waiter at a chi-chi sushi place in Palermo Viejo. We were pissed, and embarrassed. A crime of $30 in pride.
Chris also stepped in dog poo on the sidewalk 2x. But that happens in Paris too...
We´re staying at a super-chill art gallery/hostel. Our room is on the roof in a garden. We breakfasted and lunched in the sun. We explored Palermo, a barrio in BA that is a mix of the Village and Lincoln Park with a flair all its own.
We love it here. And will add more later, perhaps giving more information about the cute cats.

Hi Guys, Maddie wants to know if there is good pizza in BA. We miss you, and are glad you are having a fun adventure. Stay safe and keep us posted. Love, The Ehlenbachs
PS -- Can you tell us dog-lovers more about the dogs? We are getting sick of all this cat talk.
