City Tour of Buenos Aires


Our tour kicked off at about 9:30 am until 12:30 pm. 45 Peso´s ($ 12.00 US)

The guide Florencia was great. She even sang a small section of a tango for us.

We hit all the major centers of this glamorous city. Which I can comment on later on when I return to blog with my map. Today is just a chill out day and this computer spot I found is very very slow. Cheap...but slow today.

The cemetary looked like a little city with all these cool little houses that store the families coffins. The most popular being Eva Peron´s which is buried with her family. There were all these cats roaming around the cemetary just hanging out.

We stopped in this one area where the Caminetti Tango was made popular. Pretty cool area with all the restaurants and shops.

There is a lot of history here. Tons of statutes and old old huge buildings.

One of the richer areas have all these ´dog walkers´ that walk and play with up to 10 dogs each every day. The dog walkers can make up to 1,000 peso´s a month...considered a great salary in a city that averages anywhere from 600 to 700 peso´s a month ( $200 US).

I was surprized to hear about such a low average salary in this great big city.

Another reminder on how great it is where we live.
