Hi Ernie,
The tourist stuff in BA is pretty cool; La feria in San Telmo on Sundays, check out Mataderos on the weekend for gaucho action in the city, a boat ride in El Tigre through canals and islands in the delta, any bife de chorizo and malbec, great pizza and pasta, ride the oldest subway in South America with wooden cars, stroll around La Recoleta cementary and look for Evita's tomb, shopping for good quality (and cheap) clothes, a tango show, a ferry ride to Colonia across the Rio de la Plata, a walk in La Reserva Ecologica (a nice place to escape the city in the city), a visit to La Bonbonera, the Boca Juniors stadium and the Boca neighborhood. Girlwatching along La Avenida Santa Fe is among the highlights of the city as well.
I hope you are going for more than a few days:)

Hey Phil,

I just missed you when I was in Philly last week. Long story short is my phone did not work in Philly and I spent all my time with my kids. Funds were limited so I did what I could. Just started a new job and will be moving to the NE GA Mtns.

Anyhow, I am planning on coming to Philly again either end of Oct or around Thanksgiving. This time I am sure we can get together. If Ernie is in town around that time perhaps we could meet up as well. Of course, both of you could come to ATL where the real action is.........................................:D
