Argentina, a new country for us! Beautiful weather, on the verge of spring. It is always strange to see deciduous trees mixed with palm trees and other normally house dwelling plants.
Stated by one of our drivers “our favorite sport is protesting”. Inflation is out of control here. All the drivers we have met want to exchange currency, they want the security of the US dollar. They offer almost double of the current bank exchange rate. It’s known as the “blue market” and due to the amount of paper bills you get in return it feels pretty drug dealish.
The locals can spend hours in line for groceries. At least there is only one line so one does no worry about getting in the wrong line.
We feel safe but also have heard from many not to go certain places at night and not to show cash.
