I may never get to The tango part of this blog if my iPad keep misbehaving!
Next up is our visit to the Cathedral Metropolitana. This is the home church of Pope Francis and it was spectacular! Very beautiful and of course, sparkly. Our pictures do not do it justice but here they are.

The tomb of
San Martin- the liberator of Argentina, Chile and Peru. Obviously a VERY big deal in these parts, I loved the statue and her obvious stance of protection of the tomb.
A few pictures inside
The
circle at the top of this ceiling was either a moon or the face of God. You decide but it was beautiful

Now on to Tango! We searched and searched for the tango museum. There was a sign on the door to enter through a specific cafe and the line to enter went around the block. Guess what? We never went. So much for tango on our trip to a Buenos Aires.
One last picture from yesterday. We went to a lovely fish restaurant and they served a simple grilled fish along with 3 sauces and three paprika’s. Of course I had to take a picture to find them in a grocery before we leave town.
As always, thanks for tuning in, until next time from Salta.

Some nice Pics Barbara,
ReplyDeleteJust a footnote on today's walking tour. Walking back to our Hotel we heard some "commotion" at a branch off the HSBC bank. I thought it was a bunch of Soccer fans , chanting to music. I even joined in for a few moments until I realized it was a walkout of Bank workers in a nationwide labor rally against inflation. The inflation rate here has been unbelievable and is one reason everyone loves US Dollars.
We saw another rally at another bank further along our walk home.
I felt like an extra on the set of Evita for Pete's sake!
I will also keep you posted on any other Labor action....rumors flying about an Air Traffic Controllers walkout next Monday and Tuesday...lucky for us we fly to Salta tomorrow!!
In case you think we are in the midst of some revolution here..no worries the people we have met, and people in general...all very, very, nice.
Jim
Barb and Jim, thanks for the pics and glad you’re having fun. I tried to send a note on your arrival but not sure it was published? I never heard of Salta before but see it’s at a higher altitude; easy adjustment for you! Be safe, Whitey
