January 5

Visit of Buenos Aires with Aris, Maxence and Carlos. We walked quite a lot!

We started of with Plaza Frances y el cemetario close by. Apparently, a lot of famous people are burried there, including Eva Peron (The Lady Diana of Argentina)..
We went to Avenida 9 de Julio, which the world's largest street!, and saw Teatro Colon (famous theatre) and El Obelisco.
We also walked through Recoleta, which is a very "chic" area, with a lot of ambassies...
We then went to Plaza de Mayo and visited the Cabildo (which is the "mayor's house") and saw La Casa Rosa (the equivalent of the White House, expect the President only works, and does not live, there)
We finished our little tour with Puerto Madero, which was really nice! There are docks, boats and nice buildings in red brick.
