Phrase of the day: Todo la pasta podria comer? Compa, va a declararse en quiebra... All you can eat pasta? Buddy, you're about to go bankrupt.
After our money breakfast (muffins, fruit salad, and ice cream, if you forgot), Jojo showed me around town.
We passed some crucial parks, as always.
And saw some classic churches.
Just as in Ecuador (and most places besides the US, it seems), the churches are the nicest buildings around.
After a museum and a nice walk, we went to Recoleta Cemetary, the most famous in BA.
It was gigantic, and probably one of the coolest things I saw there.
They had street(path) signs, and we even used a map to get around.
I mean, look at these graves; they're like houses!
There are a lot of important people buried in Recoleta, the most famous of which being...
Eva Peron, if you didn't catch that. Thankfully she was easy to find because of all of the tourists.
We made our way out, as it was time for lunch.
Umm, what? I think it said "see you soon". Not cool! But then again, I don't actually speak Latin.Really, it was time for lunch while we were in the cemetary, but surpringly there weren't any restaurants inside! We found an Italian restaurant(surprise, surprise) a block away, and they had an offer we couldn't resist: Salad, dessert, and ALL you can eat pasta for $11. Sold!
Yeah, did I mention this place was classy? I mean, this was definitely no Pizza Hut lunch buffet; everything was made to order. (I actually like Pizza Hut's lunch buffet).
I did Yves dada and Rajib didi(still got it!) proud... 3 orders of pasta! I figured I should try as many different types of pasta and sauces as possible in one meal. This was just round one, a ricotta stuffed pasta with their red sauce.
No worries, I won't show you everything I ate. But I had spinach gnocci with pesto and then cheese ravolis with meat sauce. I'd say this is why the rest of the world isn't exactly fans of the US, but I had to teach them what "All you can eat" really means.
