just saying...

a snippet from a recent article i read on the travel channel website:

Argentina
Buzzing Buenos Aires -- where an artsy and bohemian Latin lifestyle meets Euro chic in one of the world's most cosmopolitan cities -- has been the word on budget-traveling tongues for a few years now, and for good reason. While the peso is on the rebound, dollars are still worth their salt throughout Argentina. You can have an indulgent night on the town for a fraction of what you'd shell out in London or New York, starting with a steak dinner featuring Argentina's famed beef and red wines for between $15 and $25 per person in a trendy capital-city restaurant. Carry on the evening by checking out a tango show in the barrio of La Boca and hitting the club scene till the break of day. Getting beyond B.A., there are wine-centric retreats to be had in the Mendoza wine region and more athletic adventures (hiking, kayaking, fly fishing) in Argentina's piece of Patagonia. From crystal lakes and mountain views that conjure Switzerland to a wine scene that rivals Spain's, basically everything to be loved about Europe can be found in Argentina -- and for far less fiscal damage.

why again aren't you coming to visit us there???
