Trip report- digression

Note of social commentary: the exchange rate that Americans presently enjoy has been brought about at the expense, often great, of the common Argentine person. The AR$ used to be pegged to the US$ (i.e. 1 AR$ = 1 US$), but now the rate is approximately 2.8 AR$ = 1 US$, or roughly 3 to 1. Nevertheless, one of the ways that we can help to alleviate the effects wrought by this imbalance is to visit and spend money in Argentina.
