Buenos Dias Buenos Aires

Another trip with my daughter, Rachel, this time to Argentina.  La Boca Section of Buenos Aires is colorful, lively, with the smell of meat barbequing on the side of the street and tango dancers in the street.  This is my favorite part of Buenos Aires, the most alive and vibrant, although we were advised to only visit during the daytime
.
Interesting and fun grafitti add to this colorful area.
 
Really wished I would have tried this meat as the aroma was enticing.
 
The cementary of Recoleta had beautiful sculptures, interesting stories as well as abandoned tombs.  Eva Peron's tomb was not the most elaborate which was surprising.
We enjoyed the open air markets through out the city with crafts and roasted nuts
 
As well as this huge gum tree in Recoleta
 
and finally the churros by the Teatro Colon.
The tour at the newly renovated Teatro Colon was a study in architecture, art and beauty.
