Monday: La Boca y MALBA


Well we are back in the States after a fantastic time in Buenos Aires!

After our Sunday adventure to the Estancia Santa Susana, we had one full day left. Monday's match was not until 8:15 that evening, the rest of the day was left for site-seeing and last minute shopping.

Sammy led the group to La Boca, a neighborhood that was once the city's main port and has now been partially reclaimed and the Caminito bustles with shops and restaurants geared towards the tourist trade. The most unique thing about La Boca are the colorful houses. The team found a cafe tucked away from the fray and enjoyed lunch in the courtyard accompanied by live music!

After lunch the group split up with some going to the Museum of Latin American Art of Buenos Aires, some going off to shop and some returning to the hotel to rest. The MALBA is a very manageable museum with a wonderful collection that chronicles the history of Latin American artists from the late 20th century up through the present.
