A last day in Buenos Aires    22 Feb 2014
  Buenos Aires, Argentina   
 
 
 
 
 

Our last full day in Buenos Aires. It was warm and humid and our energy levels were low. We walked a different route to Plaza de Mayo where we visited a museum. We were surprised to find the plaza largely empty, the lack of people made walking and picture-taking easier.

Our last task tonight aside from choosing a restaurant was to buy a corkscrew. We went into a small Carrefour mercado on Avenue Santa Fe. Two 20-peso notes for the 36.99 item got a 5 peso note as change. Coins are in short supply so businesses round.

We've grown accustomed to walking Buenos Aires' streets, dodging pot holes, pipes, abandoned lumber, and dog poop, but we're ready for our next stop, Tilcara.

I don't see many camera-toting tourists. The few I see  have small cameras in contrast with Europe and North America where a lot of tourists carry big Nikons and Canons. I don't know if I stand out or not,  and I wish I didn't care.
