Last Day in Buenos Aires

Day 3:
The weather today was glorious. We walked along Florida Street, the main pedestrian shopping zone. We also visited the Teatro Colon and went to look at the impressive Congress building. There is a wide tree-lined avenue that connects the Congress building to the 'casa rosada'. It reminds me of Paris. Next, Stephen and I toured the mayor´s office and ate at Cafe Tortoni, a famous cafe built in 1858. When we walked in we felt as though we had stepped back in time. Waiters with black bow-ties served us from silver trays. It was very elegant. We also stumbled upon a South American cycling race around the Avenida de 9 de julio, the widest avenue in the world. I am attaching a video clip. I couldn't believe how fast the cyclists were going and how close together they ride...It was insane!
There was a very special event in Buenos Aires tonight called 'Noche de los museos' (Night of the Museums). 107 museums were open and free to visit from 7pm until 2 in the morning! They all featured various types of entertainment (jazz musicians, tango dancers, etc...). There were free mini-buses available to take visitors to museums all over the city. It was fantastic! There were so many people out and about. We decided to visit the cabildo, the sight were the Spanish viceroy was deposed in 1810. All of the museums and public buildings were lit up. Stephen and I also listened to a free concert outside of the Geological Museum. Unfortunately, we had to go to bed fairly early in order to wake up at 5:30 in the morning to catch our flight to Peru...oh well, it was great luck to experience such a fantastic event.
