Trips Around B.A.

Throughout our time that we have been in Buenos Aires, we have been very fortunate to visit many parts of the city.  We have gone to La Boca, San Telmo, Puerto Madero, El Obelisco, Plaza de Mayo, Recoleta, and Ciudad Jardin. Here are some photos and side comments:

Plaza de Mayo (including the Cathedral):

Recoleta:

The main attraction that we saw in this part of the city was the Recoleta Cemetery.  I had been here last year with my school, but it still amazed me at how many other grave sights I was able to see that I had never noticed last year. 

The cemetery is a very interesting place in the sense that you are completely creeped out at the same time that you are mesmerized by the pure beauty and complexity.  It’s rather hard to explain in words, but you should go visit it if you have the chance. 

Ciudad Jardin:

We were blessed to spend the day with Laura, Edy and Julieta in this city.  We went out to lunch with them and then went to a coffee shop and it was a great chance to spend time with them.  Laura reminds me a lot of my sister, Stephanie, so I really enjoy talking with her. :)

The last place in the city that we are waiting to visit is Palermo, which we will hopefully get the chance to see during one of our last days in the city. And here are a couple other photos from the city that I took one day when we were out and about:

Estamos en las manos de Dios. :)
