These pictures are from my parents' visit down here, and the week we spent in Buenos Aires. I'll post more text later.

UPDATE
My parents came to visit Paraguay in early February. They spent a couple of days in Asuncion (making the obligatory trips to the few museums we could find that were open) before heading to Potrero Pucu with me.
They spent the week in the campo with me, eating tallarÃn, drinking maté and terere, and getting to know the tranquilo lifestyle of Paraguay.
That chair you see above was the "presidential throne" of Mariscal Francisco Solano Lopez, one of the most infamous presidents of Paraguay (and the one who was in power during La Guerra de la Triple Allianza" - the War of the Triple Alliance, in which 8 out of 10 of Paraguay's male population died in action.)
The Brutalist style cement building is the National Library in Buenos Aires. And the multicolored buildings in the last shot is el Caminito in a neighborhood of Buenos Aires called "la Boca."
I believe that if one goes to Argentina has to experience both lifestyles: city and countrylife. Countrylife gives us tourists the opportunity to see the typical "gaucho" and try rural activities eating food that is usually prepared in the field. Then the city life is totally different. Buenos Aires rent is the best choice, as you did, since it gives you the chance to invite people you meet there over and have nice gatherings.
ReplyDeleteI did everything and I can´t say which lifestyle I liked better!
