As mentioned, when we returned to Buenos Aires, the weather was shockingly nice. Therefore, the day we arrived back, we went down near Puerto Madero and went to the National Reserve. It was right on the Atlantic Ocean, is grassy with lots of trees. It was completely shocking to see!
Before going in, we ate some lunch at a street stand nearby, I got Choripan and Jason got Bife de Chorizo. Can't really explain them, but all you need to know, is that it's meat. We then starting walking in the reserve and found a nice grassy area and fell asleep for a little while. We then continued on, and found an area where you can walk to the water. It was so cool! It looked at if there used to be a bunch of buildings on the rocks of the shore, and someone just knocked all of them down. There were pieces of brick, decorated/patterned tiles, I even found marble! We walked around there for a little while looking at all the interesting things, we felt the water, cold, but better than the Pacific Ocean. We then continued our walk.
Upon continuing, we were walking parallel to the ocean and could see the skyline of the financial district called Microcentro. Well, Buenos Aires is architecturally a strange city. There are buildings here that are the most beautiful buildings I have ever seen, and then there are others just I look at and think, ....why? The financial district is the latter reaction. There are maybe 10 sky-scrapers and they are just terrible looking! They are big, out of place, and not very well designed nor appealing to the eyes. But, that's just my opinion.
We continued our walk, which, nature wise was absolutely beautiful. We saw the sunset behind the buildings and that was spectacular.
The Reserve was absolutely wonderful and green and the Atlantic was so gorgeous. We hope to return before we leave back for Santiago.
