On our last day in Buenos Aires, we explored the San Telmo barrio to see the street markets. We headed to Plaza Dorrego first and tried to catch mass at the San Pedro Gonzalez Telmo Church . I thought that there would be mass at 10 but it was only at 9 and 11:30. San Pedro Gonzales Telmo Church  So we decide to walk around Plaza Dorrego and the nearby Calle Defensa and come back for mass later. The stalls in Plaza Dorrego were selling mostly antiques.

We set out to visit Tigre today, which an Argentine friend of mine recommended we do. We took a train from the Retiro Station which only cost ARS 7.50 (US$ 1!!) for a round trip. The train ride took about an hour, and we got off at Tigre which was the last stop.

For our second day in Buenos Aires, we decided to do the morning tour offered by Buenos Aires Free Walks. On our way to the meeting point, we passed the other side of the Evita Mural . Evita smiling to the people of the South While yesterday’s tour covered Centro and San Telmo, the tour today would cover Retiro and Recoleta. We had another great tour guide who was really knowledgeable, but he spoke a tad bit too fast and mumbly so I didn't understand him a lot. Our other tour guide was funnier too, but this one was still good.

For our first day in Buenos Aires, we wanted to take it a bit easy. We had a late morning start and decided to join a waking tour in the afternoon to get to know the city. We found a nice restaurant to have a late lunch in, then just walked around after trying to find the meeting point, and to get a bit acquainted with the area. Couldn't pass up the chance to try some Argentine beef for my first meal Topped off with some delicious dulce de leche  crepes for dessert
