We flew to Buenos Aires, Argentina and have been filling our days with a tour of the city, shopping, and eating tasty, yet inexpensive food. Traffic is something to be dealt with, whether in a taxi, bus or walking. The pedestrian does not have the right-of-way, so we need to beware! The Avenida 9 de Julio is very wide, and usually congested – 22 lanes at the widest point!
Casa Rosada sits on the end of Plaza de Mayo. It is from a balcony of the north wing that Eva Peron addressed the adoring crowds of Argentine workers in the late 40’s. The Argentine president works here – and he was working this day, indicated by the small flag flying above the building.
We’ve done a lot of window-shopping as we walk the streets. Some Tango dancers performed for a many on-lookers on an outdoor stage. Maybe she buys her shoes here?
