What's been the highlight of the day? Steak #2? Or the Tango show in the evening in the old warehouse (el viejo almacén)?
Actually we had a nice stroll through the town. We got up at 7am, enjoyed a good breakfast (for any country outside of Switzerland) and headed to Plaza de Mayo. A fence of the size of the Berlin wall is dividing the square, a black snow plow with water cannons is not waiting for snow nor to start cleaning dirt off the street...
Most of the afternoon after lunch in TGI Friday's we spent at the harbor (Puerto Madero). It's where the expensive condo high rises sprout. Quite peaceful and nice. The town surprises us as very European. It is big with some Avenidas of 22 lanes! It is busy and fairly clean. Bs. As. makes a great start to Argentina.
The sun's been burning on our heads as we realize later at the hotel - we're red-skins now.
The Tango show is impressive - although there could have been more dancing and less singing.
On a side-note: Garbage separation is done at night by the poor. They tear apart all bags and pack up paper, glass, plastics, etc. and of course leave the rest on the street. However, the streets seem clean again in the morning.
