Buenos Aires Letter from Lloyd McCall in 1938
Lloyd McCall writes from Gran Hotel Espana Buenos Aires about arrival from Montevideo, health checks, costs, and daily life. He describes the city as Paris of the new world with parks, zoos, and a mild winter, notes expensive imports and cheap local foods, and outlines plans to travel to Mendoza and over the Andes to Santiago and Valparaiso. He details gaucho culture, transit options, and the heavy winter disruption to rail travel, considering a $100 plane option with baggage surcharges.
