As our pictures demonstrate, Cordoba is a city which is primarily enjoyed by night. We were thrilled by the open air restaurants and bars, so much so that we almost forgot my birthday. The best areas lie a few streets off the canal named La Cañada, an artificial waterway created to manage floods. The name unfortunately set us up quite well with this common response from locals, "yeah just like the canal!", when we were asked which country we come from.
We met a waiter there named Willfrid, originaly from Haiti, one of the few people living in Argentina with such origins. Speaking French all night wasn't great for building Spanish skills but we got the chance to get a view of Argentinian culture from someone who had recently been catapulted into it.
Cordoba was a worthwhile stop in Argentina's central region, a way to ease ourselves in before entering the countries chaotic capital, Buenos Aires.
