<font color=#6600ff size=+1> Mi Buenos Aires Querido is the name of a famous tango. In this cosmopolitan city, sophisticated dressers mingle with the shabbier unemployed from the surrounding suburbs. Downtown, the Plaza de Mayo is the traditional focus of activity, and lately has been the scene of mass protests against the government's handling of the economic crisis. Nearby Avenida 9 de Julio is popularly known as the world's widest thoroughfare and is truly a pedestrian's nightmare. Buenos Aires' attractions include the Catedral Metropolitana, which contains the tomb of revolutionary hero José de San Martín; the Teatro Colón, a world-class facility for opera, ballet and classical music, and a cluster of worthwhile and popular museums like the Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes, the Museo del Cine and the Museo Histórico Nacional, which presents a panorama of the Argentine experience. Don't miss the colorful Italian suburb of La Boca, which features brightly painted wooden houses lining the Riachuelo waterway, or the Cementerio de la Recoleta, a testament to the national passion for death. For me I have fallen in love with this city and am glad to have shared it with my very special friend Hector who showed me once again a fantastic time. Gracias mi amor, te adoro!!! This picture was taken at "La Boca Caminito". Page under construction... <img src="http://banners.wunderground.com/banner/gizmotimetempbig_both/language/wunderground/global/stations/87582.gif" |
