Buenos Aires the city of Parks
It was pure fate that we got to visit this great destination
just a couple of weeks after one of their own became Pope. The city was filled with pride and Vatican flags. We stayed in the Rigoletto part of town and
it was wonderful, clean and quaint, we felt safe and walked the all over the
neighborhood. Our first night there was Palm Sunday and there was a little
church just a few blocks from our hotel, we went to beautiful mass, walked
through a street market and then stopped at a sidewalk café for dinner and
glass of wine, a perfect evening. Our city tour took us to some hidden
treasures such as a cemetery that was unbelievable and also where Eve Peron was
buried. Our guide also informed us of so
much history about this city and I wasn’t aware of such as the amount of
Italian influence from the immigrants that settled there. She took us to the La
Boca area I don’t think I have ever seen such a colorful area, I could have
spent an entire day walking around. I was amazed at the amount of parks and
dogs in this town everywhere you looked there were dog walkers and the parks
were maintained with such care the garden of roses was so beautiful it really
made you want to stop and smell the roses.
These parks were free to walk around in and made you feel at home. We
went to a dinner and tango show in the St Elmo section of town that made you
fall in love with their passion of music and dance. I will definitely return to this lovely
town.
This destination was a wonderful way to end our Around the
World Journey. My next blog I will try
to sum up our adventure.
