As I mentioned before, we did a whole lot of nothing in Buenos Aires – our stops here were intended to be a break from the intense sightseeing in other parts of South America- a chance to relax and regroup. It was also a chance for us to try out the big-city life, a stark contrast from our suburban lifestyle back in Dallas.
Though we didn’t even try to “do it all”, we managed to do a little sightseeing. We took advantage of BA Freetour’s free walking tours of El Centro and Recoleta, where we learned a bit of the city’s history in addition to seeing some of its major sights, like the Casa Rosada:
We also paid a visit to the Buenos Aires Zoo,
and the Japanese Gardens, teeming with hungry koi:
We took in a few museums, too – and gawked at some of the city’s many monuments.
This city is monument-crazed, I tell you!
We enjoyed dinner and a tango show on the Terrazas at Buenos Aires Design,
and we managed to check out most of the city’s major neighborhoods, from the parks of Palermo
down to the ultra-modern, ultra-touristy Puerto Madero.
But my favorite little neighborhood was the one where all the residents are dead…

Bring out your dead! But I’m not dead yet! Yes you are.
