Day 1 : Welcome Home!
Welcome to my home! Here we'll introduce ourselves and I'll explain what is in store for all of us for the rest of the day. We will start by lighting up the grill and then, with the help of a couple of volunteers, we will make the chimichurri. After that, we are ready to start our walking tour of the neighborhood.
The NeighborhoodYou will learn how Argentina's most dramatic financial crisis helped change this neighborhood from a sleepy residential off-the-beaten-path area to one of the most popular neighborhoods in the city.
Plaza Inmigrantes de ArmeniaFrom here I can show you just how this neighborhood changed from a seedy unattractive place to what it is today.
The Butcher ShopWe will then buy the main cut of meat for the day and walk towards the wine shop while admiring some more street art and taking pictures along the way.
The Wine ShopThis is the perfect place to stop and enjoy a little wine sample before deciding on the bottles to take back to the house. Along the way towards the wine shop we will have more street art stops.
Fresh BreadBy this time we are hungry and are looking forward to eating lunch. We have the last stop before reaching the house to pick up some freshly baked bread.
Ready to Eat!We will have a "picada" and we will make a "Fernandito" to wash it down with while hearing about Italy's contribution to the local culture.
You will then help put the salad together and we can admire and talk about all of the cuts of steak and pork that are on the grill.
We can then sit down to eat what will most likely be the best meal of your entire trip!
We will finish off with a local traditional dessert and learn our last local cultural custom of how Argentine's say goodbye to friends.
