Back in the B to the A

Laura and I hit the ground running as soon we returned from our last 20 plus hour bus ride from Iguasu. It was time to take on the city and see what all the hype was about . . . the hostel we stayed at was just okay but the neighborhood, San Telmo was really really great.

Each corner in Buenos Aires feels like a different European city. One block feels like Italy, the other like France and then the next feels like Spain. Argentinian Spanish sounds Italian and people speak with their whole bodies here.

Laura wanted to take advantage of seeing the city and we covered the big neigborhoods. Our big night out included taking a tango class and then seeing a show. Tango is bomb. Yes, it's touristy, yes it's a cliche to say you did tango in BA but believe me people, it's one cool dance. Here are some pictures from that evening:

We also had the opportunity to check out La Boca, a neighborhood that hosts the beloved Boca Juniors. It's incredibly colorful and a bit touristy (or where we ventured as we met about 3 travellers who had already been ripped off in La Boca). We had lunch and (surprise!) watched some tango. I loved this old dude who was singing:

After a few more days Laura and I were ready for a new country. Next up - Uruguay.
