OT subject here --
Anyone been to Rio de Janeiro and Buenos Aires? I've got a butt load of United Miles from my job. Cashed in 400K miles and got us 2 First Class tickets rountrip to Rio and Buenos Aires. One week in each port with a couple day stopover on the way back in Washington DC to see Doris' sister. Anyone have a must see or must do idea in either of the cities? I know in Rio at our beach hotel I'm going to be wearing (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/cool_shades.gif) ! Can't wait....it's been a grind lately....

back in 1992 my wife and i got to live in buenos aires for 5 weeks. it is an awesome city! cool architecture, an historic opera house, a fast ferry ride to montevideo uruguay (ok it is 4 hours, but it is a hydrofoil thing). there is lots to see and do, and i found the people to be very friendly. it is also close to some beach resorts on the atlantic, or some rainforest up near iguacu falls. yep, it is a great city. i would like to visit again, some day.
beef and red wine. the argentines do them both right. try the malbec wine. it only produces good wine in argentina; everywhere else it is used in mixed grape blends. (sorry, i don't speak "wine") and the beef... oh, the beef!!!! it is awesome. lots of statues, great old churches, history, culture. it rawks! the first europeans to land at present day buenos aires in about 1524 or so (forgive me, i forget the names and dates right now) were eaten by the natives, in view of their shipmates still on the boat. |
