Today we visited Buenos Aires, about a 30 minute trip from the town of La Plata where we’re staying. It’s the capital of Argentina and it’s a huge city. We drove around the city with Mario, Juli’s dad giving some of the city’s history. After getting pulled over for having too many people in the car, we parked and walked around the city.
We saw the part of the city where locals set up shop on the streets and bring their hand made items such as jewelery to sell. We then visited a cathedral where General San Martin, who lead the Argentinian revolution, is buried. We then got to see the President’s house (The Pink House) as well as the building where the Declaration of Independence was signed.
We also visited , a mall Galerías Pacífico, which has a huge fresco on the ceiling. All in all it was a very interesting and educational day and we will definitely make a few more trips back during our stay.
