I woke up about 10:15 this morning feeling dehydrated with a slight headache from too much tequila and not enough water last night. I got going, had a shower, and went to find the maid. I gave her a few pesos and asked her to clean my room next leaving a few extra towels. I then went for a walk to clear my head.

When I returned at 10:50, the room was spotless with no evidence of last nights activities. My bi-sexual pair of amigas was supposed to be coming for a date today. Right at 11AM, the phone rang and the front desk said there was a lady here to see me.

Florencia is in her late 20s with fair skin and dark red hair. She was tall and elegant. She asked if her friend Mara was here yet. We sat and talked and shared a pepsi. After 20 minutes with no phone call, she made a few calls. I said ok, just one girl is fine as Florencia was pretty and easy to get along with. Her english skills were minimal, but my spanish must be getting a little better as we were doing fine.

A minute later, we got a call from the front desk that a woman was here to see me. We waited a few more minutes, but no one showed up, so we got started. Florencia was a little wide in the hips, but very accomodating. She like to ride me and we ended up doing that a lot. I got a bbbj and we really went at it for about 45 minutes. I was just about ready to pop when the phone rang again. It was the front desk with yet another woman to come up? Stupid me does not ask her name ... what if it was a chica from yesterday and not just Mara being late???

Anyway, Florencia covers herself with a towel and I put on some clothes. We wait around for another 10 minutes, but no one shows up. Both confused now, we get back to business. More bbbj and then a fresh condom. She was really into it and despite the marathon efforts, she never urged me to finish. Finally popped and we were both hot and sweaty. She went to take a shower and I set out her money. Too bad the two girl thing didn't work out because pretty bi girls are sometimes hard to find.

I cleaned up again and left to find some lunch at a cafe and then visited the internet cafe to write yesterdays report. I had left a message for sakebomb and he met me at the cafe.

We headed back to the hotel and I ran into some of the guys we had met in the bar the night before. They were trying to get into the Hotel Etoile, but they were sold out. We exchanged information about Thailand (they were headed there next month) and they told me about eastern europe (estonia, poland, etc.) I gave them the club url and told them to join.

Sakebomb came down and all four of us caught a cab to Cafe Orleans. Total fare 4.3 pesos. We had a chopp at the cafe and admired the talent. Some was older, but there were a few lookers. Sakebomb had a snack ... breaded chicken cutlet that was pretty good. The girls in the cafe were coming and going the whole time. There were 2 or 3 at any given time that were do-able in my book. I will probably go back on Monday.

After that we were planning to go to see Cutty Sark, but we saw signs for cambios and were drawn down to florida avenue. The rate has improved to about 3.05. I wanted to change a few hundred, but they were all closed. A guy standing outside one of the closed cambios, said he could take us to get change at a rate of 3 to 1. He took us into the shopping area to a little room with see through glass walls and a small slit. There was a local sitting there getting change, so we figured it was ok. I asked to change $200 US and a few minutes later a hand stuck out of the slit with a big stack of 20 pesos notes. I took one look at them and realized that they were all the provincial quasi-currency of Buenos Aires province, not currency from the Banco Federal. I refused the stack and said I wanted federal notes. I was assured no problem. I minute or two later, a stack of 50 pesos notes appeared. I took a look at them to make sure that they were real: same anti-counterfeit as regular notes, increasing size of serial numbers, metalic ink, metal strip embedded in the paper. I compared a bill to one I had in my wallet and couldn't tell the difference. I figured I would take the chance. I gave the guy my two $100 bills. Sakebomb change a few hundred too. I used the bills all evening and had no problems whatsoever, so I guess everything is fine. The cambios have been difficult to use during the day because they all have long lines of argentinos trying to exchange money and have reduced their hours to 11AM until 2PM for most of them.

As we walked out the shopping area, we spotted a place with a nice selection of leather jackets. We stopped in an sakebomb found one he liked. Nothing I liked fit me, so I waited while he negotiated his purchase. He needed the sleeve length altered, so they took the jacket to make the change (about a 5 minute process for a professionally done alteration ... no charge extra). Then the store found a lamb leather jacket that was just right for me. Perfectly soft and great styling, just the right weight. I paid $150us and they altered it for me. Sakebomb got his and went to pay, but they raised the price $10us on him and he nearly walked away. They thought he was going to buy two jackets and had offered him a lower price earlier. He ended up making the purchase and we left. I still think I'm going to go find another jacket, belts, wallets, briefcase, etc on Monday before I leave.

After that we located Cutty Sark. There were about 15 cuties available at about 8PM, with at least three that were more than acceptable in appearance. We drank for a while and admired the scenery. I played a few songs on the jukebox and talked with a few of the chicas with great smiles. Eventually I had to go buy one a drink. Drinks here are 25 pesos, but one drink minimum to leave with the girl. I couldn't decide, so I ended up with two.

Rosalita was 27, no kids, but a little bit thicker than I like. Nora lynn was only 22, but had two kids. She was tiny with a tight little body. When they showed up with some appetizers, I was going to refuse but Nora lynn wanted some. She was more interested in a free meal than me. Rosalita had a very pretty face, but nothing was clicking. Oh well, sometimes the chemistry just doesn't work. Sakebomb was making progress with his chica, but we decided to hit some other places.

We had been joking with one of the doormen off an on through the night as he passed through the club. At one time, sakebomb thought he recognized one of the workers from the hotel he stayed at on the first night and stopped him to say hello. The fellow was confused, but took it in good stride. We learned later from the doorman that the guy was the chief of police for the downtown area.

We left to go visit ness, hook, or cattos. The doorman came with us and he and sakebomb were talking about places for the locals. We walked a few blocks to a place called Periblo. It was a beautiful club, but the girls were mostly older. We ended up having a great time. I picked up a nicole kidman look-alike and sakebomb found a cute blonde. As we drank, sakebomb kept teasing our buddy the doorman about being his novio. He really had him going for a while.

We negotiated a rate with the girls and left to get a taxi, each tipping the doorman 20 pesos. Made his night I'm sure.

We had fun in the taxi as sakebomb made us all laugh. We split up at the hotel and made agreement to get together at Newport about 12:30PM.

Marta was ok, but wouldn't let me take a picture of her (even with face hidden). She was worried about the pictures showing up in a magazine and wanted $100us for pictures. I gave up on that and we got down to business. She gave a fair bbbj on the couch and we went to the bedroom to find the condoms. She wanted to go back out to the couch. She liked to ride me while I was sitting on the couch and I did her from behind while she was kneeling on a chair. After I popped, we talked for a while as she smoked and drank a cerveza. I'd had enough cerveza and tequila at periblo to stick with water.

A little bit later, I was ready for round two ... perhaps a bbbj to finish. Anyway, she was up for it, but wanted more money for another hour. We had only been in the room for about 40 minutes. She also wanted money for taxi -- 40 pesos. Now in B.A., the most expensive taxi ride around town has been less than 5 pesos. Supposedly there are 25,000 cabs registered in B.A. It was only 33 pesos from the airport. I knew I was being taken. I offered a little more, but then she wanted another 120 pesos. I told her no and that I was upset that she was money, money, money. I started to get dressed and she said no I did not understand. She explained that she would take the extra I had offered. By that time though, the mood was totally broken. I finished getting dressed and told her no mas ... done. Finally she got the hint and went into the bathroom to get dressed. I was expecting her to start breaking things ... she was that pissed at me (despite the money I'd already paid for the session which I think was more than she usually got). I told her that she had a bad attitude and wasn't making me want to spend money on her. She left in a huff.

I got cleaned up and dressed and went back to playwomen to salve my wounded heart. I'd seen a pretty blonde the night before and wanted to see if she was there. I found a comfortable couch and talked to a few of the other ladies ... none my type. I finally asked one to go find Emily. I later found out that it was really Daniela. She was a blonde with an elegant face, another brasilleria from Sao Paolo. We connected and I decided that I had to have her. I wanted to try an all nighter. We negotiated 200 pesos for all night, but the salida was 5 drinks minimum for all night at 20 pesos each. I tried to negotiate with the waiter since it was 1AM, but no luck. I finally agreed because I knew she was going to be good. She had told me how she likes orientals, was divorced from a first husband who was chinese, and had been 6 months pregnant once, but lost the baby. Its easy to forget sometimes that these are real women with families and lives.

Anyway, we left to go back to Newport to see if sakebomb was there. He was and we shared a drink. Apparently he had a good time with his chica from periblo and had just gotten rid of her.

We talked for a few minutes, and then Emily and I went back to my hotel. At the hotel, we talked some more and she really began to open up. Maybe I have a friendly face, but after pyscho chica last night, I wasn't sure whether I had another on my hands.

We ended up have a really great session. Her body was good although she had a few small tattoos that did not enhance her appearance. I got the best bbbj of the trip so far from her and we had a great time. She liked being on top and that was mostly what we did. I'm pretty sure she actually came too (or the act was outstanding). It was a great session.

We then spent the next hour and half talking about her family and mother and places in america that she wants to visit. I was ready for round two and wanted some more of the bbbj action. Since I had paid for the whole night salida, she just wanted to go out dancing with her sister and girlfriends. Try as I might, I was not able to convince her to do something more. I'm not one to force the issue and insist, but it was the only disappointment of the entire night with her. She left me her number, but without the second pop offered, I don't think I'll repeat with all the other talent available.

I ended up going to sleep about4AM.

You paid too much for the coat. Costs were $150 US in Oct / Nov 2001. Sorry guys.

Go to Calle Murillo near Palermo. All kinds of leather factories there that the tourists never go to.

Maybe did pay too much, but it is a perfect fit and quality materials. Just the right weight I was looking for too. I happy enough.

I'm going to spend some time Monday morning shopping, and may try to check out the locations you and ezy have recommended. Thanks.
