Landing in Argentina

We landed in Buenos Aires, checked in, and looked for the first thing we could eat. Just so happened we found a Parilla, or steak house. Brigette and I are more than rusty with our Spanish, so we pointed to the menu and what came out was by far the best meal of the trip.

With confusion caused from the language barrier, a glass of wine turned into a bottle of wine. So we drank.

Men in jerseys were glued to the TV cheering for their futbol team, families were laughing, and I couldn’t be more happy to be in South America.

The waiter brought out my steak, a juicy rare cut that filled the plate. He set down another plate with fried potatoes. I could practically cut the meat with my fork and the potatoes had just the right amount outer crunch and inner mush.

I took my time with each tender bite, sipped the wine and enjoyed the atmosphere. I couldn’t think of a better way to start our trip through Argentina and Brazil.
