And so it goes!

Yesterday was super great from start to finish - Cabbed it to Recoleta and slowly walked through the Recoleta cemetary (which is, as mentioned yesterday, is an astonishing city of rich dead people with enormous masoleums...).. The Recoleta market was getting bigger and bigger the longer we stayed. I bought a bunch of stuff before heading out.

We went to the Malba - (Museum of Arts / Latin America / Buenos Aires) In there I liked the work of Botero, who I remembered fondly from art school (One example of his work, generally characterized by rotund people, often nude, performing mundane tasks) I was also impressed by Antonio Berni - who has phenomenal political paintings (Here is a blurry example of the image in the Museum.)

When we returned back to Palermo, it was ALIVE with people, and the weekend market. Bars had been transformed to shops, the streets were packed, and vendors had set up all around. There was so much more energy then we had seen in previous visits to the central area of Palermo. We walked around for hours - and in that time, found a GREAT little cafe near our hostel that actually had vegetarian food!!!! Finally a meal with a few veggies mixed in with carbs!
