Buenos Aires, Argentina Day Dos

Hola once again!! On day two in Buenos Aires, we went on a bus tour of the city. We were picked up from our hotel and went around to pick up other peeps from other hotels. There were people from Brazil, Mexico, Peru, Ecuador, and the USA so it was a melting pot of sorts. The tour guide did an impressive job and spoke Spanish, Portuguese, and English interchangeably. I'm pretty good at saying hi interchangeably in all three of those languages...so...yeah, not quite as impressive. Anyhoo, we drove around to several places in the city seeing the sights and hearing history - most of which I have already forgotten. We saw Casa Rosada (the pink house, which is a famous governmental building), the obelisk (a monument that looks like the Washington Monument in DC), the widest street in the world (16 lanes!!!), and we drove through some several interesting neighborhoods. One of these neighborhoods was Caminito, which was pretty colorful and fun. We got to see the influence of tango dancing on the culture. We saw some more sights and then got off the bus in San Telmo where there was a flea market (the female half of this marriage is truly all about flea markets). Shortly after we got off the bus, we remembered we were in Buenos Aires and had no clue where we were or how to get back to our hotel. We also realized we were at a flea market with no Argentinian Pesos. So basically, tensions rose a little bit. After we figured out where we were we got over it and had fun. We had to walk forever to get back home, but we made it, seeing a lot of fun stuff on the way. We rested our footsies for about 5 minutes and headed out again, this time to go to the Recoletta neighborhood, to find Evita's grave (who I personally know nothing about, but Marla is a fan). We kind of got lost on the way there too, which was a blast, but ended up making it. Recoletta cemetary is really interesting. The gravesites/masoleums are enormous and really elaborate.
In the evening, we were picked up to attend a dinner/tango show at the Carlos Gardel Theater. I was actually quite surprised at how much I liked the dancing, it was pretty cool. The best part was the live band with two accordians. The worst part was all the "older" people who just talked about how awesome they were and all the awesome trips they've been on and then got drunk and acted even dumber. Overall it was fun though, and very unique to Argentina!! After that we slept like rocks after all the walking we did. Another great day in the books!
