The largest city in Argentina sits on the shore of the Rio de la Plata. Spanning over 78 sqaure miles and holding 16 million people, Buenos Aires rises out of the pampa and explodes into your conciousness at a speed that leaves you breathless and exhilarated.
We arrived last night at 11 pm. The ten lane highways were quiet as our double decker bus-El Rosarino- cruised through the streets. Flanked on both sides by bright green soccer fields, we could see the soccer players from the freeway; field after field after field. Giant billboards loomed over us, scantily clad models striking seductive poses; over and over and over.
The boliche Ashton took us too was huge. 2,000 Porteños dancing together to Shania Twain and drinking Cuba Libres. We danced until night blurred into morning, until the bright Argentine sun peaked over the horizon.
Buen dia, extranjeras.
