Buenos Aires Fans
WE HAD NEVER thought about visiting Buenos Aires until we read Cindy Loose's article ["Buenos Aires, Always in Style," July 10]. The article so impressed us that we booked a trip within 10 days. We have just returned, and we love B.A. and the Argentine people. The city has everything: great sights, friendly people, super food (memorable steaks, Italian food and empanadas) at unbelievably low prices, and fine shopping, particularly for leather goods.
Early in our trip, we debated whether Buenos Aires was more like Europe or New York, but finally decided that it's uniquely itself. We hit most of the sites mentioned by Loose, and took a day trip on a hydrofoil to Colonia, Uruguay, just across the Rio de la Plata. The tourist infrastructure of Argentina is first-rate. Argentina has had recent economic troubles, but restaurants and shops are full of locals and tourists, and we found it a very safe city.
