That explains why the local tin foil hats don't work down here.

So, most things are already closed, people are eating/drinking what they can while they can, there are a lot of police out (probably to enforce the midnight closures) and I now have my late night salad, and another salad to go with my lunch tomorrow. Dippy Doohaha forgot to put the oil and vinegar in my bag.

I'm sure some good samaritan will take pity on you despite your pecados (what's the LD50 of that?) I have a 2008 Rutini Chardonnay and a 2008 Andeluna Malbec Reserva waiting ...

LAN is serving Rutini Chardonnay this month. It was tasty.

Since you were out of town, I had to slum it at Jumbo

I could have swapped some heavy-duty aluminum foil for some better quality wine of course!

Are you sure? You'll need extra thick "tin foil" hats to protects against los rayos K

That's 10 lbs (4.5 kg)/roll. I hope they last you a while! My wife and I enjoyed meeting you and seeing your shop. The wine was excellent, we look forward to sampling more when we get home. Also, your recommendation for Fred B. (http://www.silverstarcar.com/) was spot on. What a wonderful introduction to Buenos Aires. He was waiting for us at the airport (even though our flight was early), and waited with us for 20 minutes at the apartment until the owner showed up. He also provided us a free loaner cell phone for our stay, and gave us a great overview of things to do in Buenos Aires on the drive in from the airport.
