Milenesa COMPLETO sandwich!!!
Day 321
San Telmo, Buenos Aires, Argentina
Of course, the other thing San Telmo has..is FOOD!!!
FOOD! Wonderful, beautiful, Argentine FOOD!
Today we walked 15 kilometres around all the towns surrounding San Telmo. It wasn´t actually planned though! We were looking for the Post Office!
We started off walking from San Telmo to Plaza de Amas where the central Post Office is. We then found out this is not the International Post Office..so we walked 6km´s to where we were told that was!
On the way..we stopped off for lunch at Madeline´s and had Tortilla´s, ensalada´s and more agua minerale com gas....
This is the restaurant..in the new area of BA which is near the Port..(Puerto Madero) We prefer old San Telmo for the character tho!
Then continued our walk! We finally found the place..and posted our last box home (won´t you be happy Mum!! haha!) so we don´t have to pay excess baggage when we go through Airport Customs.
And then...walked back to Florida Street.watched all the activities going on there....stayed for quite a while and watched the tango..which we could never get sick of!
Then..we had dinner at a great restaurant in San Telmo. Pity we found it on our last night! IT´s called El Federal and it has such character..and great milenesa completo´s!!! 12.50 pesos for a massive sandwich ... including queso, tomatoe, lechuga, nuevo duro, cebolla and papas Fritas!
Great little restaurant tho! It´s only 2 houses up from where the apartment is, where we stayed for Christmas and New Year!
You`ll be glad to know..we don´t eat all the frita´s every time they appear on our plate! We´re still watching blood pressure...cholesterol and our diet etc so we TRY to leave THOSE on the side! Hard as it is! The Argentine frita´s are really the best however...! This sandwich will last us till tomorrow nÃght i´m sure!
Well.....I think after our foody, cultural, bohemian time here in Argentina..we´re going to miss the place!
Off to Chile tomorrow!!
PS This is at the internet place we´ve been going to in BA! More than 100 computers in the room!
