His Spanish was so bad it was hard to take him seriously anyway. I
think my Spanish was far better than his, so I guess I won't starve on
the calles of Buenos Aires or Montevideo.

Rich,

I think you'll be fine with your Spanish...besides, so many people
there speak English, especially in service industry jobs.

And, I think Clint's terrible Spanish is part of the act...I can't say
for sure.

thanks for the suggestions.

I saw a restaurant profiled on television. I think it was in B.A. and
all the food had aphrodesiac type themes.

does anyone know what this place was and is the food any good?

I have seen a number of travel guides in books stores about Argentina
and Uruguay.

Has anyone in this group used any of these guides and if so, which
guides are better than others?

thanks

Some years ago, I bought an Insight Guide to Argentina, and I found it to be
very helpful. It gave a history of the country and a very thorough
description of the various regions and what there is to see in each.
