On Monday Miguel and hung out the whole day exploring Recoletta and neighboring barrios..  We visited the Evita Peron government house, which was brick red, making it stand out  amongst the rest of the buildings.. That was in the Plaza de Mayo..-

 

  All around were vendors in the streets in the nearby theater section where I bought a silver ring and some leather wrist bands.. This is the place to go see a Tango show.. As a matter of fact we actually saw some tango dancers demonstrating in the street.. Watch below.. 

Close by were some very old buildings  ( churches) that date back to the 1570´s  ( wow  thats about 430 years ago) Amazing..  As you can see by the architecture the city has a European flair .. Many  beautiful buildings and history here..

Unfortunately you see this kind of thing throughout the city..  Trash everywhere.. It seems so easy to keep this place cleaner by finding a more efficient way to pick up the garbage.. 

 

Here are some of the architecture around BA.  Some of the buildings like the ones shown are beautiful.. A throw back to what you might see in Europe.. 

   

We visited the Hardrock Cafe and I had a hamburger.  but for some reason the hamburgers dont taste as good as at home.. I have had three burgers so far here and  none of them seem to taste all that great.. I dont think they know how to make a good burger.. !!




















We took the subway back to Palermo and went to the Cinema  ( Multiplex)  very nice cinemas and equipped for 3D!! .. The seats were very comfortable.. Felt like bucket seats you would find in a Mustang..  We saw the Hugh Jackman movie with the fighting robots..  pretty good movie I must say.. Iron Giant meets Rocky with rockem sockem robots..










Then I see all these posters for Animated movies in 3D.. Where did they come from... Top Cat!!???  Apparently Top Cat is very popular in the Spanish cultures..  Did you see thisn the US? 
 

We also came across these trees with the unusual root system..  Reminded me of Giger art from Alien..
