We have been in Buenos Aires three times. It went like this: Buenos Aires p.1, Iguazú Falls, Buenos Aires p.2, Patagonia, and then Buenos Aires p.3.
Food
The food in BA is delicious. It is yummy and widely diverse. Argentina is famous for their steak and other meat. During BA p.1 and BA p.3 we went to two different steak houses. The first one was an awesome place that my dad thought was the best steak place in the world. The steak places don’t really cook the inside of the steak very much, and the first steak place set their pride on that. They cut the steak with a spoon! The second place was not as eccentric but still good. Another place my dad adored (and my mom and I also liked) was a place called Chori. No surprises here, they made chori sandwiches. They were delicious! The next place is in the category of “you must must must eat here at least once!!!” This place is called the Gran Dabbang. Every spice, sauce and herb fit together like a song or puzzle pieces. This is a place you cannot skip if you come to BA! Now, say you need something to fulfill that hope of a refreshing treat. Then, you should definitely check out Valence Ice Cream. I got mint-ginger lemonade ice cream; I strongly recommend this flavor. Valence is no large factory, fake color, buttery ice cream, it’s the real deal. Another delicious food is Dulce de Leche. Dulce de Leche is a treat I love, and so do the Argentinians. They drizzle it over everything: ice cream, cookies (a specialty called alfajores), chocolate and much more. Dulce de Leche is a carmel-like substance that comes in a variety of different flavors that you can find in dulce de leche stores.
Landmarks
The first famous sight we saw was the Casa Rosada (Pink House, like the White House) where the famous Evita Perone (Argentina’s beloved First Lady) delivered her famous speech before she died from cancer. The second famous sight we saw was the obelisk. A tall white stone structure that sticks up above BA casting a shadow all the way down Plaza de la Republica.
Performances
We went to several performances in BA, the first was an opera at Teatro Colón. The opera was about two Ancient Greek characters: Orfeo and Erudice. It was a good show and the building was classy and bright. The second performance was a Tango show. The ladies moved their legs so fast! When the show was finished, I felt so slow and sluggish.
There was so much that we saw and did in Buenos Aires, and so much I haven’t captured here. I apologize if I did not explain more about some of the pictures I have put in the gallery.
Other Little Noteworthy Things That Don’t Go Into Categories
An old theater in BA was turned into a bookstore. You can eat on the stage at a cafe!
There is an indoor market in San Telmo, BA that we went to several times. There are ice cream shops, a butcher, sandwich shops, and many more places to get tasty morsels.
The first steak place was decked with soccer memorabilia, antiques and trinkets.
We rented bikes during BA part 3 and rode around the city. It was a beautiful day and we had a good time.
We also went to a horse race. It was quite the experience; you could hear the drumming of hooves as they galloped across the finish line!
In our first AirBnB in the Congreso neighborhood there was an elevator to get to our apartment. It wasn’t just any elevator, this elevator was old and fast. There was a intricate iron door that you slid open. To operate this elevator, you would unlatch a wood door connected to that floor, then slide open the iron door connected to the elevator, then you would press a button with the your floor number, and finally as soon as you closed both doors it would shoot upwards at an alarming speed. Because the iron door had openings, you could see the floors disappear after each one, until you came to a halting stop.

Buenos Aires was so much more than I expected. I loved exploring the city. I wish I had some Gran Dabbang right now….. Did you have a favorite neighborhood? Why was it your favorite?
I don’t have a favorite, all of them had their pros and cons.
