We started off today by sleeping in and eating breakfast at the hotel. Then, we walked around downtown Buenos Aires where we went to a mall, souvenir shop, and a few monuments. The monuments included a church, a big famous house, and a memorial remembering the city. After exploring these areas, we went to a cemetery. This is much different than those of America. A tiny house is built for every tombstone in memory. This was a huge area with a lot of different styled houses. It was cool to be able to see how different styles of architecture were displayed through memory of a loved one. We then went to eat lunch at a place where we were served a variety of foods such as empanadas, pizza, and ice cream for dessert. We learned a little bit about the history of soccer and then headed back to the hotel to get ready for tango night. We then had dinner where I ate salmon, steak, and pavlova. The tango show was after and it was a very neat experience. All of the dancers were very good and it was overall a very fun day. —Avery
We got to sleep in and woke up at 930, got dressed, and quickly grabbed something to eat. We then got on the bus and walked through stores and a cool mall that used to be a train station. It was also an Argentinian holiday: it was cool seeing everyone out and about. We then went to a cemetery. Though it may not sound interesting, you’d be wrong. The tombstones were the size of houses and there were so many of them. After an informative tour we got lunch at a restaurant. The empanadas, pizza, and ice cream were really good. We then went on a bus tour and saw the River Plate stadium. After that we came back to the hotel and relaxed a bit and then headed out to dinner and a tango show. Both dinner and the show were nice. We then came back to the hotel and that was it. Overall it was a really fun day. –Rushabh
