Drink of the Day – Hot Summer
This was our second day in Buenos Aires. We left the ship around 9:30 or so and decided to take a cab back to the area called La Boca. We ended up spending most of the day there exploring, shopping, and enjoying the music and street dancing. The streets were lined by local artists and crafters selling everything from paintings, photos, and art glass to jewelry and leather goods. The buildings were all made from leftover scraps and pieces of old ships, all painted and decorated in bright colors.

After exploring just about every inch of La Boca we stopped at one of the many restaurants lining the streets and enjoyed beer and a plate of gnocchi. A group of dancers performed the tango and samba on a stage set up right next to our table.
It was really difficult to pack up and head back to the ship with so much more to see and do in Buenos Aires. Once we go back to the pier we looked around at the market, typical of most ports, and then boarded to ship.
In the evening we had an early show featuring two dancers in The Latino America Gaucho Show. The show was very nice and a little more interesting since we had already spent time in Argentina and knew a little about gauchos. After dinner it was off to bed to get ready for four days at sea. Our next destination is Cape Horn.
