I posted this in a way that I'm not sure it is clear about the area of the world I am interested in ! So forgive me if I post again.

We're heading off to Argentina next week and I need to do my last minute shopping prior to packing. I seem to have lost most of my plug adapters, so will have to go buy some. Which type do I need? I've seen both the round ones and the slanted straight ones, so am not sure which is correct for Buenos Aires and Iguazu. Thanks!

We used the round ones, but now the legal ones are the slanted flat ones, but there may still be places where you will find both.

Anyway, adapters are widely available in BA.

Have a great time in our country.

Fortunately I think I have both the round and the slanted, so I may not have to buy a new one after all!

I am really looking forward to being in your country! Just the warmth and lack of snow will be fabulous, but also looking forward to wandering through the various neighborhoods and experiencing.

Out of curiosity, anything other than wine (which I can't wait to sample) for "local drinks"? Brazil had the caipirinha which I fell in love with. Anything similar in Argentina we should try?

That's drdawggy's area of expertise (LOL!!), because I don't drink, but I would suggest you try "sangría", prepared with red wine, or "clericó", prepared with white wine, both with fresh fruit added.

No point in having it prepared with an expensive wine.

Thanks - maybe I'll post a question related to that and drdawggy will respond.

If he doesn't, I'll call his attention to it and reprimand him, if necessary. LOL!!!

hi there, we drank good beer in addition to excellent wine. we generally were offered Quilmes, but on occasion had the excellent Jerome which i belive comes from Mendoza in the wine countrty
