Dia Tres – Continued sampling of the nightlife

Wake up around noon, eat breakfast and meet everyone around 3 pm for a tour of the city. Our guide is a starving actor named Adolfo. The tour is actually really informative tour, and we see a lot of good stuff. We go inside a house from 1880 in San Telmo. We drive past the futbol (soccer) stadium; soccer is practically equated to religion in Buenos Aires. We also go to a very touristy bit of La Boca, but it has some cool signage and colored buildings. The tour ends in Recoleta around 7 pm. We nosh on bar food and have some beers outside at Buller Brewing Company.

Melissa & Grace.

Have dinner at Sushi Club at midnight. The fish is fresh, but the 5 rolls we order all basically taste the same. Melissa's work colleague Santiago (who also happens to be a somewhat famous Argentinian rugby player) meets us at the restaurant to take us out for the evening. Hit Asia de Cuba next; it’s not like not like Asia de Cuba in the US. This one has much a darker interior and more like a night club.

We heart Santiago.


Chris sidles up to the bar at Asia de Cuba.

Due to a little miscommunication/language barrier we wind up in a college-y bar in Palermo called Jackie O. Then we head to Crobar, a full-on dance club. Ironically, we actually don't dance here; we sit in a lounge area and drink champagne. When we walk outside, day is not breaking; it's full daylight. Get back to the hotel after 7 am.

Excellent juxtaposition of two American icons.
