You should visit La Recoleta in B.A., it is magnificent this time of year, and the scenery is fantastic. Magnificent steak dinner to follow, and a trip to a tango bar. We met Robert Duval there in Recoleta on my last trip.
In Montevideo, I would recommend a little coffee shop on the corner of Plaza San Martin in the afternoon, followed by a trip to the Mercado del Puerto.
There is a fantastic German restaurant in Asuncion run by German immigrants and serving great sausages and hefeweizen, and a Brazilian parrillada where the meat is to die for.
Now I need to go there again!

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat." - President Theodore Roosevelt, 1910
