In Buenos Aires and Loving It

Oh, Buenos Aires... where to begin.
This city is a beautiful combo of Paris, London, and New York City. The buildings here are magnificent, and although the city contains 13 million people /WOW!/, it feels much smaller. Much like S.F. or Portland, it is broken down into districts, or barrios, which gives each area an identity and central feel. We went on a big tour yesterday of both the City Center, where we`re staying, thanks to Max`s oh so sweet Auntie Pam and Uncle Mike/thanks again guys!/, and the San Telmo tango district. TANGO! Dear god, tango is a sight to be seen! If you ever have the opportunity to see a tango show, do! It was fantastic. We went to this lovely place El Balcon/a Caio Bellas for you Calis on a more sophisticated level/ and saw a mindblowing show.
We will be exploring more in the next few days, so ´much to see, Içm already in love with this city and itçs only been one full day. And, as an added bonus, the weather is perfect, the food is good, and the vino, oh the vino is delicious/Malbec is popular down here from the Mendoza wine country to the west, which has never been my favorite wine, until now! Of course, as warned, the shopping here is fantastic, too. I will be purchasing either an extra bag or throwing out all my old clothes to get my new outfits home. Still need to get some shoes... hummm.
We will be posting pictures soon, its just that there is so much to do and so little time, 3 days left here I think. Max is at another internet place now, so Max, if I forgot anything, please continue from here...
