Exploring BA’s diverse neighborhoods
After breakfast, we took the subway to Teatro Colón. We went
on a guided tour of this magnificent architectural wonder. We learned that this
theater is the largest structure of its kind in all of South America and has
the best acoustics in Latin America and is considered to be one of the top
venues in the world.
The halls and the lobby of the theater were decorated
lavishly and elegantly. The second floor balconies were decorated with the
busts of the great composers wrapped in gold leaf.
We were able to go inside the actual theater and sit in the
most expensive seats of the house. We witnessed how the crew were setting up
for the upcoming show.
After the tour we headed to Palermo for lunch. We found this
hip, organic restaurant with a great view of the neighborhood plaza that was
absolutely delicious. Once we were done with lunch we went shoe shopping and
found some great Argentine leather boots for cheap. Exhausted and hungry once
again, we headed back to the hostel.
We napped for a couple of hours and then
went with some other guests of the hostel to experience the world-famous Buenos
Aires nightlife. We danced the night away and met many other tourists from all
around the world. It was a very fun, successful day in Buenos Aires!
