Today I told my landlord that our ice cream store was broken. This is why I'm going back to my language classes tomorrow.

He was over to collect the rest of our 3 months of rent, which we weren't able to provide until yesterday when our family friends came into town carrying US cash for us. When traveling to Argentina, we have learned, bring USD if you plan on renting an apt or taking classes - it's easier and cheaper to pay. Not to mention the fact that ATMs put limits on withdrawals per day here. I can hardly say I blame them for needing more than 7 years to get over the banks freezing all accounts and causing financial crisis overnight. Moral of the story is, carry cash with you.

But the plus side of needing cash and forgetting my boots was that we were treated to a wonderful dinner at Azema. Pricey for Argentina, but not by US standards, it features a mezcla of Latin and Asian elements. I had the fish of the day, which had a banana/coconut sauce. The dessert of sorbets of exotic (y no tantos) fruits was also delicious.
