At a casino in Puerto Madera, where Natasha's (pictured) grandmother explained to me they knocked down all the old buildings and put in a glitzy strip of restaurants surrounded by boats. It's illegal to gamble in BA, so the casinos are on boats. But the casinos have recently been nationalized and are run by the federal government. Politics aside, the government decided its a bad idea to fork over free drinks, a casino tradition as old as the blues and beautiful as the sunset (not to overdramitize). So I drank a strong capirihinia but lament actually paying for it. (This photo was taken a good 3 weeks ago, but for some reason this didn't post)
