Hola todos,
One of the most popular experiences in Buenos Aires, is the Sunday street fair in San Telmo. San Telmo is a beautiful neighborhood with statues and like most of Buenos Aires, beautiful old buildings. We went at around 2 since it closes at around 8. It was crazy, because we ended up running into a man and woman we met in Iguaz
ú! We first watched a performance of dancing. Some dance I´m not sure what it´s called, and another Colombian-style dance.
Afterwards, we had a quick brunch, we both got omelettes, and then continued to the market. The market was gigantic! It went on farther than the eye could see. I bought some unique-Argentine things and another pair of leopard sunglasses because, a tragedy or all tragedies, my other ones were scratched. Half-way through, it started to rain, so we took a break at a nice heated cafe. We continued on a while longer and when everything was beginning to look the same and it was getting darker, we turned around and went to a different area that was serving Colombian-style food. We weren´t hungry, but w still looked at it all with interest. Afterwards, we walked a little ways from the market and saw the Casa Rosada lit up. Speechless. I looked at it, and it was so beautiful, I wanted to cry. It, obviously, is a pink house, and there were magenta lights on it, increasing the pinkness of it. This is why I love Buenos Aires.

I just looked at pix of Casa Rosada. Yowzers! It is bonita. I think it must be terra cotta, but haven't read up. Must be some great buildings there.
