It either reflects how lucky I have been up to now or (more to the point) how little I have travelled in my life! <BR/><BR/>The bloodier the better is my motto. Will keep El Trapiche and their lomo on my list of eateries - I am travelling with my brother and sister-in-law. The cunada happens to be a born and bred Portena from that side of the Andes (as opposed to the right side ;) )...anyhoo while I prefer sussing a place out for myself when I travel it will be great to be taken round by someone who knows BA (or has family who do - her cousin is a local travel agent who apparently knows all the ins an outs - you'd like to think) - Anyhoo, its likely that they know of and have gorged themselves silly at El Trapiche - I will suggest.<BR/><BR/>I'm in Chile as of 3 Jan - a few days in Santiasco (as you call it) and then a week or so in Valpo before heading south for a week or so...I'm in Chile until the end of Feb so, yeah, a catch up, guided tour and a coffee or beer(my shout)would be grand. patmora71@hotmail.com<BR/><BR/>Saludos<BR/><BR/>PatricioAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7198903954394494705.post-2066906994467581992007-12-20T01:59:00.000-03:002007-12-20T01:59:00.000-03:00MALBA is fantastic-the permanent exhibition is gre...MALBA is fantastic-the permanent exhibition is great (lots of Antonio Berni, another loco Argentine artist) and sometimes the temps are good as well, although i didn't like the temp that was there (can't remember who it was but i remember not being a fan at all). La Celeste...go ask Dan what he thought as a 3rd person review...Lore and I used to love it 'til the bogie and hand washing incidents. Prices are double what they used to be but the food and service is back to its best. <BR/><BR/>El Trapiche has the most awesome bife de lomo-don't order any other kind of meat, it's always a disappointment compared to the lomo. Get it 'jugoso' for extra blood.<BR/><BR/>The Colon is closed 'til...god knows when..purportedly May of next year (?). Maybe. It's a pretty incredible place from both inside and out. BA is truly a great city...that;s what i thought when i first went there...and now i'm a tourist again, it's what i think now. I'm so glad i got the chance to live there as well-despite the bollocks of the place, it's still a cool place to call home for a couple of years. <BR/><BR/>Patricio, when are you coming to Valpo? Let me know and i really hope i'll be around to re-show you your home town..!Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09900725715325926065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7198903954394494705.post-43579463918630243772007-12-19T23:39:00.000-03:002007-12-19T23:39:00.000-03:00Will have to put MALBA on my list of things to see...Will have to put MALBA on my list of things to see and do in BA when I am there in a few weeks time. I hear that the Teatro Colon is closed for repairs - what a bummer!<BR/><BR/>...I'll take your word on La Celeste after the bogie and grubby hands recount!<BR/><BR/>Have a great Christmas break and enjoy the NYE fireworks in Valpo!<BR/><BR/>PatricioAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
