El Microcentro


Visited Microcentro today with new amigo, Victor. This is where the Casa Rosada is (Pink House)-- This is their version of the White House, and my mom's version of paradise. This is also where where Madonna used to make her famous speeches to the people of Argentina from the balcony. Also vistited the Cathedral and walked around the area-- eventually ending up by the Puente De La Mujer. There is a quaint little walkway by the water, with nice restaurants, outdoor dining, and then a Hooters and TGIF's :) After our beer, we heard the Casa Rosada is open to the public, which I guess it's rare. Lucky us! We got to go inside and take a look around. It's very grand and I couldnt believe they just let us walk around.

I'm heading down to El Calafate tomorrow (Patagonia!). I'll be back Tuesday, and until then, I won't be able to update el blog.

I promise I'll start updating my flickr account with more pics!

And yes, by Madonna, I meant Evita. I'm hoping you all caught that. Some, maybe not so sure :)
