We had a 12 hour layover in Buenos Aires, so we left the airport in two mini-buses to tour the city. We began in Boca, at the Boca Juniors Futbol Stadium. At a capacity of 60,000, complete with museum, was a very impressive site. We then went to El Caminito, Historical Arts District. This place touted restaurants, art exhibits and vendors, and shops. We spent the next hour enjoying the sights and sounds, taking lots of pictures. We had lunch at a very nice McDonald's and tried a Triple Mac, like a Big Mac, but with an extra layer. Next stop the Obelisk, a very tall monument like the Washington Monument and then to Plaza Mayor, home of the Capitol, La Casa Rosada. Our last stop in Buenos Aires was the cemetary at the very upscale Ricoletta, where the cemetary is an enclosed city of mausoleums. There we hunted for the resting spot of Eva Peron, Argentina's most famous First Lady. After satisfying our photographic needs we headed back to the airport where we would begin our 10 hour flight back to the U.S.

What an incredible two weeks. The memories will last a lifetime, and so will the new friendships we made with each other. Thank you for following this blog and showing your support to OneSight.
