Thanks for the clarification. I was beginning to suspect that was the case. Now if only the guidebooks and other folks would quit repeating this biz about the Radio taxis....
Good taxi stories: Someone in our party realized she left a camera in the taxi, and went to the hotel desk to ask them to call the taxi company when the driver came into the lobby and gave her the camera he's noticed in the back seat.
My husband's Blackberry somehow slipped out of it's case in a taxi and the driver noticed it just after we got out and called out to him.
No fake money that I know of.
We had a very pleasant visit to Argentina, and I thought the people were great.
