Buenos Aires

12/4/09

We try to finish our trips with a little luxury and it works out again on this trip. We are able to use Marriott points to get two nights in Buenos Aires. After some of our accommodations, it is divine. The girls get up early and go exploring, but I have the sense to sleep in and take advantage of the hotel's amenities. I do eventually leave the hotel and go for a walk around Buenos Aires.

The pink house (analogous to the White House) is quite interesting. Where the red ribbon is in the picture is where Evita would speak to the masses.

It is a Friday night, so we go out big. The concierge recommends a very good steak house. Shannon even manages to spill her wine on the table instead of on somebody. Dessert was interesting. I had lemon ice cream in champagne. It was better than it sounds.

After dinner we went to a tango club. It wasn't a tango show, but a club where "normal" people go to tango. It was pretty full. Some of the dancers were pretty good and other were pretty bad. All of them are better than me.

We get home late and slightly tipsy and fall into bed.
