BUENOS AIRES, ARGENTINA - Day 2

We were back exploring the City again today. It is a beautiful place, with nice wide streets which gives lots of green space. It reminds me of Philadelphia with lots of public art and distinct neighborhoods. First stop was an old theater that has been converted to a bookstore El Ateneo Grand Splendid. Next was the Obelisco and BA sign. Then we climbed up the rooftop lookout
Next was the Neighborhood of LaBoca another fun colorful artsy area and the home of Casa Amarilla Boca Juniors CABJ (soccer).
I also fit in a private tango lesson!

I really enjoyed my first trip to Thailand! On our final morning here we went to try breakfast at this spot, down the road, we had been hearing rave reviews on, King Of Bread . The hype was correct, the breakfast was delicious and they had some unique choices. I had eggs benedict on a croissant, in lieu of the standard english muffin and Bosco had it on Milk Bread, which was equally tasty.

We love having authentic experiences with locals to really get a chance to see how they live and thrive in the Ports we visit. So when I found a cooking class, by a local woman offered in her home, we were excited to book. Um ( our teacher) picked us and brought us back to our hotel along with the family of 4 from Sydney, Australia, that had also signed up for this afternoon class. Um's house, which has a lovely open air kitchen, garden and dining area, was about a 30 minute drive and turned out to be on the beach, right next to the Grandparent Rocks.
