Micah and I just returned to Chota from a week-long vacation in Buenos Aires. We rented an apartment in the city with some of our friends from Peace Corps Peru and spent our time leisurely wandering around the city. We checked out some of the tourist spots like the Plaza de Mayo, Fine Arts Museum, Modern Art Museum, and the famous Recoleta Cemetery where Eva Perón is buried. We spent time in many of the neighborhoods and parks in Buenos Aires and ate and ate and ate. We had heard a lot about the great steak, empanadas, and pasta dishes before our trip and we were not disappointed.
Evita Perón's tomb (above) in the Recoleta Cemetery (below), which is one of the most exclusive cemeteries in the world. 
A view of La Casa Rosada (Pink House) from the city's main plaza (Plaza de Mayo) where the president lives.
Even the hot dogs were delicious!
Colorful houses in La Boca neighborhood. The Boca Juniors soccer stadium is nearby.
Puente de la Mujer, a pedestrian bridge designed by Santiago Calatrava (who also designed the Milwaukee Art Museum), in the Puerto Madero neighborhood.

Hi guys! finally I decided to travel to Buenos Aires next spring for one year. I was looking for a Buenos Aires real estate agency that would help me find a nice property in Palermo which is were I decided to stay after reading about the different neighborhoods.
I love Argentina. I'm going again this May to see friends. -Tan
