Just wondered two things. First, have things in Buenos Aires settled down? Second, what is the street currency being used right now? Pesos or USD?</font>
I was there during Thanksgiving. If I would not have read in newspapers that Argentina is in trouble, I would not have recognized it. I got all my Pesos from ATMs; 1:3.5. Paid hotel and some restaurants with credit cards; also about 1:3.5.
I was told, that outside of Buenos Aires the situation is not so well.
I would highly recommend Buenos Aires: Very interesting town, very good food, first class Opera Colon and the people are friendly and nice, nice nice..
