Americas Towers Hotel Buenos Aires

... plainly that I was probably sitting a few rows in front of them. <br><br>Initially I thought they were on the same tour with me. In fact, Paolo and Deborah decided to take advantage of the warm weather in South America and strong dollar to travel to Argentina on an independent self-made tour. In a bizarre twist of fate, our itineraries were almost identical. We were going to spend two days in Buenos Aires. Then we would go to Mendoza on the same day, and we would end our ...

... of noise and blocking all kinds of traffic and it was wonderful. And one of the coolest things was that our tour guide wasn&#8217;t at all surprised. These types of protests and marches and strikes are just so much a normal part of the daily life here that people don&#8217;t even grumble about the inconvenience of being held up in traffic or whatever. <br><br>This active political life is also illustrated by UBA, or the University of Buenos Aires. I take classes at the ...

... br>Once I`d had an instantly hot shower in the delightful shower room, I sorted my stuff way and went to a cafe round the corner called La Frontera for lunch. I had picada, on Maru`s recommendation. This, as I soon discovered, is a plate of savoury nibbles (crisps, nuts etc) accompanied by a huge wooden board literally teeming with cheese and various meats (salami, pepperoni, sausage etc). I ordered for one, and I couln`t even finish it as it was easily ...

... is to tango dance all the cholesterol away! So for our last night here, as a send off, we chose a Tango show including, you guessed it, meat for dinner! The Show was AMAZING! Such talented people and such precise moves and fancy footwork and all in 4 inch stilettos! WOW! filler acts also perform amazing dances and singing as well as a band playing traditional 'mountain music' (panpipes, penny whistle, raw hide drum and hand made ...

... art. The building itself is very modern and well designed, and I highly recommend the cafe to gaze at the young and beautiful and eat some nice food. There is a Japanese Garden here which I was originally heading for - but when I saw the length of the queue I decided not to bother. So far as I know its nice but not exactly a world class attraction, so what they were all waiting for I don't know. So I had an ice cream and ...

... moved our way to the Obelisk on 9 de Julio, one of the widest avenues in the world. We then stopped a bit to eat at a local pizzeria, and then we walked all the way up to Recoleta and saw the famous cemetery, where the deceased elite of Buenos Aires are extravagantly housed in mausoleums fit for royalty. Among these lie none other than Evita Perón...<br><br>After, we ...

2/3/09 - 8/3/09 So Buenos Aires, the capital of Argentina and the birth place of Tango. It is one cool city with something for everyone. For the first four days I have to say we really didn't do much, it rained one day, I felt sick then Dave felt sick....... Well we watched a lot of movies anyhow. But finally we got to discover the city. The area we stayed in was the main city centre, so the shopping mall and business centre. The mall on ...

... effortlessly, without you even knowing it until you consider breakfast a meal to be best eaten at 1 or 2pm. There is at least one spell-binding venue providing great entertainment every night of the week. I wouldn´t advise visiting this city against others if you crave geographic urban beauty or an instantly recognisable set of tourist ´must-dos´ that can feature on an impressive array of souvenir T-Shirts. I would, however, come ...

... going to try and explain what I think. Personally (Family pay attention) I want to be cremated. I want you all get together and have a memorial service. I want it to involve just a social gathering preferably with alcohol involved. I would like to be remembered with one last party. I want it to be a celebration of my life. I then want my ashes spread about the world (not Reading) by as many people that will take me to cool ...

... our dollar, everything costs almost the same here as it does in Australia- maybe a bit less. Actually we went hunting for an evening dress for Tills and it was difficult to find anything particularly original (..and we were in Palermo, boutique capital of BA!) Having said that, im sure that if you know where to go maybe there ARE treasure finds here- and if you have alot of money and want to go on a massive shopping spree then BA is the place for you!!.....We also observed ...
