Buenos Aires – Okay, the title doesn’t really mean anything, at least the spider part, I just liked the play on the movie title. I’m giving another shot at a dinner party tonight.

Buenos Aires – No, not another adventure like last week’s cyclone. I was around the corner yesterday at the fish market looking for something that looked good for dinner.
