Saturday morning Edgardo and I headed over from his place to the hotel to meet Jim e and wander around the city some more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We shopped at bookstalls, then walked over to the MALBA Museum and cafe. I really loved both, including the submarino (hot milk and a bar of chocolate you break up and stir into the milk) I drank there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The art in the museum was fantastic, definitely on\u00a0a par with the best museums in the U.S. or Europe. Both Jim e and I particularly liked a painter named Xul Solar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After MALBA, we walked over to the La Flor statue, which is a giant mechanical flower that opens and closes according to the time of day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then, we walked by the Law University where we saw the names of those law students disappeared by a former Argentinian government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We went to the Museo de las Bellas Artes, which was also really great.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are some paintings by Xul Solar who painted rainbow flags before they were “invented”:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the Recoleta neighborhood, we walked past a gigantic baobab tree the size of a city block which was planted around 1800.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We stopped at La Biella Cafe and then for Dulce de Leche ice cream at Freddo’s, an experience not to be missed or forgotten. Finally, we ate a reasonably good restaurant near the giant Abasto shopping mall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We dropped Jim e off in a taxi on the way to Edgardo’s place. (I probably should have moved out of the hotel by this point, but I wanted the connection with Jim e and I had prepaid the hotel stay.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
