January 10-23, 2006: Buenos Aires - We arrived in the evening of the 10th around 7,8, or 9...I can't remember. I still wasn't feeling well, so I couldn't really get out and see or do as much as we wanted. poor Ziad. We only had 1 full day in Buenos Aires and I happened to get sick...as usual;-) We did walk a little bit around the main center. What a beautiful city. The architecture is so detailed and there's just the feel of great energy that comes naturally with a large city. Luckily, Ziad managed to get in some shots of the city. Here are a few photos of the buildings, including the one where Eva Peron stood on the balcony and expressed her love to Argentina.



A few more random shots of buildings:

Later that evening we went to a tango and dinner show...This was fun. We really enjoyed the dance...how those women can dance with those shoes and that speed is beyond me. Very passionate and beautiful. There was a 4-person orchestra (is that the proper word for only 4 people??) and 2 singers accompanying the performance.


Think any of you men could do this move...??

There were 3 pairs of dancers and many beautiful costumes, but I'm still not the best at taking all these fast-moving shots with my camera, so not too many shots came out. But, here is the encore:

Sooo, that was our 1 day in Buenos Aires. We'd love to go back again and take more time to explore the city and enjoy the excellent food. For now, we leave for Colombia tomorrow morning.....and so ends our trip to Patagonia (Chile and Argentina) and this blog.....finally:-)
