Buenos Aires, Argentina

The boat ride was quite delightful following an inland water route back to Buenos Aires. Along both sides there were beautiful, well-maintained homes with expansive lawns and gardens. It made for a relaxing trip. We passed a house totally enclosed in glass. It was the former residence, from 1855 until his death in 1888, of Domingo Sarmiento, the 7th President of Argentina. It is now a National Historic Monument. This area is used by families for weekends, vacations and retirement from the city.
The skyline of Buenos Aires was impressive as we approached our landing spot. Once at the dock, to our surprise, our arranged guide was nowhere to be found. After several attempts to reach him, we finally just got a cab back to the hotel.
The concierge at our hotel, recommended a lovely restaurant for dinner just a short walk away. It was called Fervor and was a great recommendation!Read more
