On Thursday, Heidi and I decided that we needed to take it easy. Buenos Aires is incredibly overwhelming for a foreigner like me who does not have a lot of traveling experience plus my 30 words of Spanish haven't been taking me too far. So we shopped around in the Soho area that surrounds our hotel. We ate the most amazing pizza I have ever had for lunch at a local bar/cafe. It was very different from Pizza in the US (duh). Very thin crust, no sauce, lots of cheese and very fresh. We also had some Gelato at a place called Freddos. Gelato is basically the most amazing ice cream ever. It is water based instead of milk based, but tastes the same...well better...but you get the point.
Thursday night Heidi and I got all dressed up to go see Opera Pampa, unfortunately, we waited for 2 hours for our shuttle bus and it never showed. The Hotel manager recommended that we go to an area called Las Canitas to eat. The area is a hot locals spot which was really buzzing because there was an intense football (soccer)game on. We ate at a place called Jackies Steak house. It had half a pig roasting right when you walk in (that's how you know it's good lol). Our waitress didn't speak any English and we had no idea what anything on the menu was. We ended up ordering some yummy sausage (chorizo) and really tuff steak with french fries. After dinner we went next door to a pub that looked like an Irish pub. After that we hailed a cab to a club that the hotel manager also recommended. It was fun, but let me tell you, Argentine men, at least the ones who approached us, drink way to much and are way too aggressive. It was not a very fun experience.
