Day 3, Buenos Aires

well, I have already missed my vow to post daily, best laid plans and all that, I guess.

Monday in Buenos Aires we walked to the Cathedral where the new Pope had been the Cardinal, and also to the Casa Rosada, site of the famous Evita balcony speech and many other events in Argentina's colorful past. The city seems to be under a lot of construction, almost every street was being worked on, and someone said it was because of the upcoming elections and the current politicans are trying to make it look like they are accomplishing a lot- some things are the same in every country!

A group of us went to a popular local area and had lunch in an outdoor cafe, which was very nice. Three women and I had reservations for a tango club dinner and show, and we enjoyed it very much- nice to see the tango show


since it is a big part of their culture. We got back to the hotel at 12:30am and had a wake up call of 5am to get ready to fly to Ushuaia, so it was a short night but hey, we can sleep on the 3.5 hour flight to the very end of South America!
