Rough beginnings; smoother endings
We spent last night on the flight from Atlanta to Buenos Aires. It was pretty excruciating and a reminder of why I avoid flying American carriers overseas. (More on Delta's disappointing showing later.) Arriving into Buenos Aires is no easy affair either: queue to pay $140 each (!) to enter the country; wait in line to clear immigration; then, the worst, waiting behind literally hundreds (!) of people to clear customs. Geeze!
But, things began to look up from there. We paid for a remis into town and were at our hotel in about an hour. We received such a spectacular welcome from the staff! We were very impressed. When the bellhop was showing us around our room, the doorbell rang. "That must be your butler." It was!
We unpacked, showered, and headed out to lunch. Thereafter it was time to explore, which we did: the shopping street, Ave 9. Julio, and a couple of squares. Now it's a little rest before dinner.
