Buenos Aires- An Overview

To me, Buenos Aires is kind of like one of the "choose your own adventure" books by R.L. stein I used to read in my teenage years. Around every corner the was a different opportunity that would take you a completely different direction with completely different people, leading you to an adventure you would have never imagined 30 minutes ago. Did we always take the adventurous path? Not always, but that's not to say we didn't soak in all that this city has to offer.

The easiest way to understand the layout is to think of New York. Buenos Aires is divided into several distinctly different boroughs. We had time to visit about four in debth.
Recoletta- Home to many beautiful cemeteries, churches, and museums.

Palermo- Home of the good night out. This borough is known for its vibrant night life.
San Telmo- By far our favorite borough, they have an amazing cobblestone street with one gorgeous antique store after another. These stores very different from any "antique" or "vintage" store you would find in Los Angeles...different in a good way.
La Boca- Home to the pedestrian walking street and Spur of the moment Tango show. The colors in this borough are ripe for good photography.

Each borough had something unique to offer, but San Telmo stood out as the kind of place you would want to live for a month while you were writing a romance novel. It had moxie.
But for all the opportunities and adventures Buenos Aires offered us for New Year's Eve, we ended up spending it on a roof with about 8 other people in relative relaxation to the madness that ensued below, but we left in one piece, and that's about the most perfect end to an adventure you could ask for.
Sincerely,
