    Part III
    Kinda, sorta, I guess it's III.
    No reply from driver (maybe old email address?) so I booked online with taxiezeiza.com.ar/eng with a promo rate of $480ARS ($33 US). Nice price for nearly 1 hr ride.
    Backing up: of course, Carrefour was open. The fair was a bunch of expats and hippie 'artisans' who sell all the same crap--tie dye, 'silver' jewelry, varied small leather goods/belts, some kind of little ceramic pots (sauces or sugar?) and incense sticks!!
    Decided to scoot off to cemeterio and found out that entrance was waaaayyyy around the other way (where we stopped walking the stoopid feria and went back out). IF we'd just known...Wandered around the monuments and guess what? Evita is still dead (like Generalissimo Franco) and people still put flowers there. If you haven't seen the Madonna film version, please do so now. The Perons will remind you of a political couple whose female member is currently embroiled in a major election...So many parallels...the Che character could be reminiscent of, well, you can guess...
    Went to a good steak place last night--La Cabrera. Not as great as we remembered but then some things just aren't. It was very good AND the wine was an amazing 2014 Malbec--full, rich and as a TV reporter pal once said, "like angels peeing on your tongue". Pretty sure that means awesome, but I prefer to use the verb 'dancing'.

    When we eat that late (had to stay in apt long enough to stream Bengals and Lions--both winners, not wieners!) it comes with a price. I woke @ 9 and Boss is still asleep @10:30.
    Got shower and pack, find something to explore today AND go home.
    I don't understand the nonrevs here. Last night the list said 8/11 w/10+ listed. Only a few checked in for all those empty seats. Now our flt shows 22/3, 17 active DL, 7 aux emps+3 retirees AND some buddy passes--maybe 35 total! What gives?? They aren't even carry-over names!

    I give up; we get on w/S3 or we blow them out of the water and switch to 2's the last minute. We can play the game...
