Day 2 - From rain to sunshine

These photos are out of order, but food always comes first for Hank, anyway.



The first half of the day ended with lots of sunshine in the Palermo Section, which has all these great sidewalk cafes and art galleries. It's considered the SOHO district of BA.



Day two started out with thunder and lighting so we were lucky we had scheduled a bus tour of the city. We kept dry as we traveled around the town! Here we are in Plaza de Mayo. The red building in the background is the president´s house; they call it the ¨Pink House¨ but it looks pretty red to me.




The La Boca section of the city was built from the scraps and discards from the ships in the harbor. It was an immigrant community where the Tango got started. The interiors reminded Ar of the teniment museum in New York's Lower East Side.

We're headed back tomorrow - to San Telmo, actually - to see tango in the streets.
