We arrived!!
First day in Buenos Aires!
As I was checking into the hotel, B fell asleep in a chair, as we didn't sleep well on the plane. He was content with not getting up, but the day called for us.
We headed to lunch at a famous and "best" pizza place.
We had half ham, bell peppers and onions and half chicken and tomato. We enjoyed the ham and not the chicken, and B thought it had too much cheese 😁
We rated the $50 pizza a 5. Guess we expected a bit more for that price or less, depending on how you look at it. 😀
We came back to the hotel for a quick nap, before going to the renowned San Telmo market. It was fun to see the difference type of booths, and I was glad to support local artists.
It's my mission to find the best ice cream in the world, so you know, we found some. Mango, Rocher, Dark Chocolate and Oreo did the trick to satisfy but nothing newsworthy. I enjoy trying new flavors, and their selection are flavors we see everywhere. And we were told it was the only ice cream shop around, although we did find two others after walking a while.
Later, we were picked up for dinner and a tango show which was so much fun!
We love trying new foods but B almost gagged on the flan 🤣 He said it had the texture of fish, which he hates.
The tango show was fascinating. I was intrigued by the moves and quick feet.
What was most captivating was an accordion player, who was extremely passionate, and two performers who "twirled" hard balls on strings (not sure how else to describe it). The woman even twirled them using her mouth...most impressive.
They were the show's highlights for me.
Can't wait for what else is in store for us!
