Buenos Aires...

Pulled from my travel blog... my wonderful trip to Buenos Aires in December...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Today was our last day in Buenos Aires and the last day of our trip. What starts well doesn't often end well but in our case, this trip has been truly wonderful from start to finish. BA is one of the major reasons for this.


Having first experiencing this city around 8 years ago I was shocked to find that it still lived up to my fond memory and in some ways surpassed my big expectations. BA is a graceful city filled with history, culture, contempory art and design. It is a city of forward thinkers and deeply rooted traditions. It is truly a city that all can enjoy. At times it can be a little overwhelming in it's vastness, but there are some wonderful pockets of peaceful traquility that can't be beat. Whether it be wandering the tree-lined avenidas in Palermo Viejo looking for the latest fashions, marvelling at the antique markets in San Telmo or quietly enjoying a cafe con leche in one of the many outdoor cafes spread throughout, BA should suit any traveller's style.

It is with great sadness that I leave here today but I have a sneaking feeling I may be back....
