Patagonia Day 1 - a meetup in Buenos Aires

<p>An 10 hour red-eye flight put me in Buenos Aires at 11AM. I did get to sleep on the plane, but not very well. Took a cab to my BnB and Uber to meet up with fellow Rally participants. We met at a very nice restaurant in a large market area and on the menu was beef. When I walked in I was greeted by several familiar faces of people I have never met, we already have history and the adventure is just getting started.</p> <p><img alt="" src="/images/c/5/d/c/c/c5dcca977461c021dc70f10d8ab809e8223c5506-img20181202133928.jpg" /></p> <h3>A large market in Buenos Aires. This market was huge and this street went on for about 1KM.</h3> <p><img alt="" src="/images/8/5/8/8/f/8588f9fdcac95854bceecfcbe695325a2f4c972d-img20181202165518.jpg" /></p> <h3>After dinner, rather than taking an Uber, I walked back to the BnB. It was a two hour walk and I enjoyed the different sights and sounds of the city.</h3> <p><img alt="" src="/images/2/5/b/1/7/25b176fb2c8fd30d1f65baf6d75b3544f4dd9de7-img20181202170005.jpg" /></p> <h3>I have no idea what this building is, but it is beautiful.</h3> <p><img alt="" src="/images/d/8/4/6/f/d846f441ebbdff107b1b436486205b76ba288b0c-img20181202141124.jpg" /></p> <h3>Riders at the Restaurant</h3> <p><img alt="" src="/images/6/8/9/a/1/689a1a3cef3a483d57002d850a340e0e7d5fe114-steak-dinner.jpg" /></p> <h3>I ordered the steak special. I may have received Tom's steak, but it was hard to know for sure as they were all great. Waiter came and cut them with a spoon.</h3> <p><img alt="" src="/images/4/b/8/e/3/4b8e3aeb60dda2ac7633fbf4a61344f34bf24548-01-dinner-crowd.jpg" /></p> <h3>The dinner crowd</h3> <p><img alt="" src="/images/d/5/3/e/2/d53e25641cd38fcf3c7af7dd5e313f8b130e3fdf-img20181202133421.jpg" /></p> <h3>It is spring time south of the equator so trees are blossoming everywhere.</h3> <p><img alt="" src="/images/7/8/b/5/e/78b5e691f069460feff5e83bb39ba88ad5b34fe8-img20181202170115.jpg" /></p> <h3>There are a lot of motorcycels on the streets of Buenos Aires but not too many like this one. I would love to donate some of these to a worthy cause.</h3> <p><img alt="" src="/images/9/1/7/2/f/9172fd51b55a46daeed4f5d42822c48653b3667e-img20181202170659.jpg" /></p> <h3>I walked past the Obelisco de Buenos Aires which I later noticed was a structure used to show how big the Pietro Moreno Glacier was. At 67 meters high, this tower is still diminutive compared to the glacier we saw</h3> <p><img alt="" src="/images/e/7/6/7/d/e767d36883f4305bb1ba1d55b751cc731a1d3451-img20181202133947.jpg" /></p> <h3>Crafts at the market, an interesting use of old records.</h3> <p><img alt="" src="/images/a/3/f/1/c/a3f1c2f8dd40195518c25eb95b20b91a7c585922-img20181202133930.jpg" /></p> <h3>This market went on for a mile.</h3>
