Bonitas en BA

The last two days feel like 4 days have passed.. Time seems to have stood still for all of us. Maybe it's because we don't have a set schedule for anything or maybe because it is the summer here and daylight seems to go on forever. Either way, Buenos Aires has been an unique adventure so far and keeps getting better.

Day 1: 

After we landed, we took in the scenery.. I was a bit shocked at how run down the city looked going from the airport to the city center. I pictured "the Paris of South America" to be so glamorous... The parts of the city has the European/Parisian glam and architecture and then you look at the next building and it's like how does this work? But that's South America for you.. Sometimes it's on and sometimes it's off. You just never know and you just go with it.

We took a cultural walking tour that started at the Momument Liberatador San Martin to the Recoleta Cemetery. Along the way we encountered so many beautiful buildings, learned bits and pieces of their history, and introduced to the life of the Porteños (local Buenos Aireans). So much PASSION in this city. When I meet a man here, I am definitely going to be wooed and swept off my feet. 

After the tour, we asked our tour guide for a bar recommendation. She recommended: Florería Atlantico. We got ready and told the taxi where to go.. We show up.. It is a flower shop. Lucky for us, there was a guy taking a smoke outside who told us that we were at the right spot, just had to go through the freezer door. Um.. WHAT?? We opened the door, walked down the stairs, and there it was. A long narrow room with a bar and tables being serviced with seafood!! The drinks we ordered were so artistic. The bartenders put in a show making the drinks and the drinks where garnished with things like reeds in my summer vodka drink. Low key and secret. Pretty awesome!!
