Day 3 Highlights:
Riley’s Post:
The second day in Buenos Aires was even better than the first! We started off with hotel breakfast, the pastries filled with dulce de leche and fresh fruit were delicious. Then, (after a few delays due to overslept alarms) we all piled on the bus for our second day of touring. We saw the sights of the city before leaving to explore the wider Buenos Aires area. After a stop to see la Foralis Generica and another for some ice cream and a cathedral in San Isidro, we went on to the main attraction: a river tour in the town of Tigre. The river tour was incredible, the sights, the river itself, all of it. After we left Tigre, we drove back into Buenos Aires for lunch at the all you can eat buffet, Siga la Vaca. The food was amazing, more grilled meats than any of us could possibly eat. After a long lunch, we walked through the rain and crowds to a local open air market. The market was filled with restaurants and shops selling anything from dulce de leche to burgers to antique phones and typewriters. After the market we walked back to the hotel for a some time to freshen up before the most exciting part of the day: Dinner and tango show at the famous Viejo Almacen. Dinner was amazing, the steak was the best I’ve had so far, perfectly cooked and seasoned, and the company was even better. We spent hours talking, eating, and laughing together. And after we had all finished eating, we walked just across the street to the to see the tango show. The show was incredible, the dancing and singing, tap dancing and drumming, it was all so interesting and entertaining. And finally, after the tango show finished we all went back for our last night at the hotel, exhausted after a late night out.
