The 2 1/2 hour flight from Bariloche to Buenos Aires on Aerolineas Argentinas was uneventful, and but the snack was memorable since it included yet another Argentine alfajor! In the end, we could not decide which cookie was the best we had tasted - but the chocolate with dulce de leche is scrumptious!)
After checking into our hotel, we met Marilyn and Fene at a restaurant in Puerto Madero for dinner. La Cabana was right on the river, we had a great table and a fun waiter and, again, an amazingly another great steak! It was as good as we can ever remember eating. We did a little walking along the river before taking a cab back to our hotel and saying "Goodbye" to Marilyn and Fene who were spending a few more days in Buenos Aires along with Andy and Tracy.
Our flight back to Panama was long - its a 7 hour flight - and we arrived in time to have a light dinner and head for bed, as we had the morning flight to David the next day.
Our impression of Argentina was a country with great character, proud, civilized -- not rough around the edges as in Panama. We would encourage anyone to travel there... the people are reserved but not unfriendly, the cities are cosmopolitan and there is a lot of colonial history. It is a very large country, largely empty of population in the center. We are so glad we have had the experience of spending as much time and seeing as much of the country as we have.
