And now for a change of pace, dinner at an Argentine steak house
My second major meal in Buenos Aires was the rehearsal dinner at La Rosalia in San Telmo last night. This was probably my best shot at an authentic Argentine steak house. Even more people had arrived from the States yesterday, so this private party was even larger.
There was just as much wonderful food and wine as the night before, perhaps even more, including rump steak, veal ribs, flank steak, pork flank steak and loin steak. You had to throw yourself on your plate and say, "No mas" to get the servers to stop piling meat on it.
The setting was as lovely as Bella Italia's, each in its own way. This was in a 19th-century colonial house with an open patio at the entrance and a courtyard dining room inside.
Mmmmm. I wonder what the wedding dinner will be tonight. Vegetarian? Seafood?

What I want to hear is that chicken was NOT served at the wedding.

Right the mosquitoes just don't have enough meat on them to be worth eating.

My friend Ernie says Eva Peron is buried across from that beautiful hotel; did you go into the cemetery? Please post MORE photos. Tom
