Argentina 2011


February 28, Buenos Aires, Argentina 
Bought a Hop on, Hop off bus pass today and just about killed my butt sitting in a hot hard plastic seat for 2 hours!
Went through some very interesting places.  But most of all the buildings are amazing to look at!  Great architecture! 
Got off at one of the later stops and went to the Recoleta Cemetery.  This is where Eva Perron is buried.  Very busy place.
Wandered around a little and ended up in a huge tribute to Miguel de Manuel (?),  a actor/singer/dancer from the 1950s.  Interesting as they were showing some old movies and also had many of his costumes on display!
Wandered over to the metal flower that opens with sunrise and closes with sunset.  This is just one of many sculptures around the city!
Beautiful city with wide streets and big boulevards!  Many trees and flowers.  Squares and circles and statutes all over the place.
Went out for a steak dinner tonight!  Very good.  Wine(s) and steak for about $20 and then dessert with that!  Even got complimentary drinks after dinner.  Very nice.






February 27, Buenos Aires, Argentina 
Not much exciting today, mostly a travel day.
4 hour flight from Lima to Buenos Aires.  Arrived about 7 pm, only 1 hour late and took an hour to get through the immigration and customs.
Got to hotel about an hour after that!
Went for dinner at restaurant around the corner, and then to bed!
