Day 2:Today we ended up visiting Malba, the Modern Art Museum, to avoid the torrential rain. It was in Palermo, a very nice part of the city. The building was light and modern. Our favourite pieces were the video projection of the 'fly in the wall' and these mechanized discs that contorted into different circular shapes on various backgrounds. We also had an overpriced, but very nice meal in the cafe, probably my last really nice Caesar salad for the next few months. Later, we walked through Recoleta, a very chic European area of Buenos Aires. It is also the neighbourhood of the language school we have signed up for in December. There are several nice, posh cafes in the neighbourhood. I will love it, but Stephen might prefer the cheap and cheerful neighbourhood of San Telmo (where we have been staying). Last night we were picked up from the hostel and driven to a 'tango' night. We started the evening with a lesson. It was difficult to do in our big, clunky waterproof sandals. There were definitely some toes trod upon. Then, we had a three course meal, listened to live music and watched a performance that showed the history of the tango through dance. I have never seen an accordian played in such an innovative way. It was fantastic! I'm all ready to sign up for lessons, but Stephen is a bit concerned about being my partner because of my propensity to lead...
