After one of the coldest and snowiest winters hit London, this California girl needed to head south for some sun! I arrived in Buenos Aires, Argentina gitty with excitement to soak in the sun, eat the oh so famous Argentinian beef and chill with some friends. It just so happened a friend and her bf who were on there way north, with there massive backpacks, were still in BA. We had some good times going to the Palermo market, eating yummy food including empanadas(and super cheap - 5 Pesos to 1 GBP right now), and boating around Tigre. Thanks for the Nesquick chocolate drink...dont think I had one in years.
Polo is a huge sport in Argentina (doesn't surpass soccer of course). While its off season at the moment, I was able to see a practice game at Campo Argentino de Polo de Palermo which was around the corner from where I was staying in Las Canitas.
I met some friendly and amazingly nice people who made my visit that much more fun. The thing I loved about BA is the open airiness about it. I also practiced my Spanish and was surprised at how quickly I was picking it up.
If you haven't been to Argentina, book your next vaca there. You wont be disappointed!
