Day 6- Exploring Buenos Aires

Today we bought a day pass for the tour bus and made our way around Buenos Aires. Our first stop was the governement area where we saw the Pink House (Arentine equivalent of the White House) and the house of congress. There was also a cathedral containing the tomb of San Martin, a general who liberated a number of South American countries, including Argentina. We had lunch near a small plaza full of stands selling all sorts of goods and artisan crafts. We walked through a busy fresh market where they were selling meat, vegetables, nuts, and grains. We hopped on the bus and visited La Boca, which had a street market located near some beautiful colored houses (pictured). We also stopped at La Recoleta, a large market next to a huge flower called Floralis Generic featured in the United Nations Plaza (pictured).
