Pounding the Pavement

Had a big day today walking around the city. Started in the centre - blown away by the incredibly beautiful and large scale heritage buildings. So many all over the place it kind of feels like a time warp except for the juxtaposition of the brutalist concrete blocks that sprout up in between. After the center we trudged on up to the suburb of San Telmo. My favorite so far. Medium scale buildings, again many of which date back to the late 19th century, line the cobblestone streets which ooze character, class and style. We stopped at Plaza Dorrego to feast on pizza and beer and were treated to a Tango show right there. Finally we made our way back along the docks and jumped a busy bus back to the hostel. Feet happy to be off the ground. Not enough photos of the amazing architecture. Will remember to grab a couple snaps tomorrow.
