Argentina - Buenos Aires

Today we went on the second free walking tour that BA Free Tours offers. This one explored Avenue de Mayo and spoke more about the history and political side of Argentina as at either end of the Ave are the National Congress and Government House. We learnt about Argentina’s Independence and it’s ride to democracy from the dictatorship that was in power during the late 70’s - early 80’s. It was a very interesting couple of hours which was followed by a coffee and snack in one of the oldest cafe’s in Buenos Aires that has been open since 1858.
Tonight we splurged and went to dinner with a Tango show. We felt a little underdressed in our jeans but enjoyed it just the same. We had our own booth table and were treated to a spectacular 3 course meal and wine which was finished off with a marvellous show. The skill in the dancers was quite spectacular. We were dropped home a little before 1am very happy but quite sleepy :-).
