Tuesday January 25-

This was our first “normal” day of the trip. We walked the shady streets of Buenos Aires toward Recoleta this morning.

Even tiny public parks have a Facebook page, apparently.

In Recoleta we toured the famous cemetary, home of the monied aristocracy of Argentina. The big attraction is Evita (Eva Peron).

Other famous people were to be found as well.

Crypt cats lazed.

Next stop: ice cream. Josie works at an ice cream parlor in Asheville, NC, and she was sooooo excited!

Kina displayed poster-perfect ice cream posture.

Wyatt, Quinn, and Kina practiced their Spanish with a national newspaper.

Next door to the ice cream was El Ateneo, an opera house-turned-bookstore.

Epic.

We grabbed the subway to tango lessons, where Alicia taught us the salida a.k.a. cruzada a.k.a. “the cross”. Ingmar and Claire demonstrate.

Jalen, one of our two vegans, was delighted to find a frozen block of squid in the supermarket—but still no soymilk.

We enjoyed a light rain on the way back. Buenos Aires is HOT, man!

Saludos!
