I've always looked at water-soaked bikers with enormous pity as rain pelted down. It really is preferable to be rain-slammed than driving in a car?
And what is the boot fair? Never heard of it.
Even when it's raining it's quicker on a bike.
Anyway, the feria is where we reserve a space in the car park of a school, set up tables and hangers, then sell all our junk to the public.
There are usually around 300 others doing the same and we made $6000 last weekend, so it's viable.
Sounds fun! When is the next one?
We're going here tonight for my birthday dinner

I've been wanting to go there for a while!! How was it? Send photos?
Hope your birthday dinner was terrific!
Apparently Google Maps does a bit of translating. Here’s where it tells me you went to dinner:
(It lets me paste the screenshot, but then it disappears after saving. What am I doing wrong?)

Google Maps took me to Colombia. I was impressed that Splinter whisked Mrs. Splinter off to the north for an exotic dinner.
OK, so where IS this restaurant? You had me hooked with "great views of the river" and "scruffy."
Followed your how-to this time.
I’m guessing you went to a restaurant called Mirador? If so, our Google friends are probably trying to be commercially helpful by finding the nearest restaurant of that name to the person who opens the map.
Of course the fact that we didn’t want that to happen is irrelevant. Google answers to a higher power (paid ads).

And???
It's in the old Olivos port where there's a marina, other restaurants and food trucks on the weekend. In fact as I've already said, we've been going there for years and there was a time when we'd regularly eat there on a Friday lunchtime. You need to look for it and it's nowhere near Costanera; it's just off Libertador not far from the Quinta in Olivos.

Yes it's scruffy but it does have tables overlooking the river and there's a fishing pier, the same old trapero bloke who looks after your car without menaces and if you want a table on a weekend lunchtime, be prepared to wait.
When we go in the evening I like to go early around 8 pm or earlier, when most Argentines aren't even planning their evening meal yet.
Ahhhhhhhh I was thinking of a different restaurant. I was thinking of this one: club-pescadores.com.ar
morganf , have you been there, and if so, what was your opinion? Judging from serafina 's experience, I think it sounds interesting.
