Day 13 - Buenos Aires - Palmero

Today we decided to head out to the Palmero district with its funky shops and restaurants.

We ended up in the very chic Bar Uriarte which is two stories with the restaurant below and an art gallery above. The food was first class and the price was fitting for the quality. All in all this was a great spot for lunch - it even had an outdoor fireplace and patio area.

We also noted a law court with incredible architecture!

We checked out the botanical gardens and the parks area in Palmero which are supposedly where all the yuppies hang out :) The Botanical garden is pretty nice and definitely a refuge from all the traffic.

On the way out we dropped by a Japanese Garden in the parks area of Palmero and snapped some shots. This was a pretty Nice Spot in town - very peaceful and serene which is quite different from Buenos Aires as a whole.

We decided to turn in early today in preparation for our flight to Iguazu so we dined at Cubana in Recoleta. This is a hot spot in town with Pizza, Empanadas, Calzones and some kind of cheese stew. Prices were reasonable which explained the large number of locals and the service was good. They even had crayons and paper table cloths for the young at heart.

All in all today was not very picture worthy so this update has few. Don't worry the next post has many many many!
