Buenos Aires - Siete Dia

Today was an early day, the first so far on this trip to date. We got up and headed down to Florida Street for a walking tour that my sister got for us as a birthday gift for me. Totally cool idea and since we ended up being the only 2 people on the tour it was even better than we could have anticipated.
The tour started at 10am and we walked the area around Florida Street and Plaza de Mayo and mostly the historical sites in that area.
This was the most beautiful church that had a great history and story that of course I will not get correct, so I will just leave it as it was a beautiful church, inside and out.












This was the site of the Islam Center in Buenos Aires, but there was a bombing and it killed 21 people so now it is a memorial site where there are 21 trees planted in thier honor. To this day no one has been brought to justice with regards to this horrific tragedy.


This is the hotel that Madonna practiced her Evita speech from in order to be prepared for filming... Even though there were only a few on site shots actually filmed in Buenos Aires. I thought that was odd.

After the walking tour we wandered down to Puerto Madero to check out the water and the famous Puente de la Mujer bridge.



We ended the day with dinner at Casa Blanca... Again. We had totally intended to eat at La Cabrera, the infamous parilla that is famous for their large portions of meat but the wait was 40 minutes and there was no guarantee that we would not be eating with the smokers... So we hit up the place that we knew would be great, and it was.
