Feb 12, Buenos Aires

Our ship docked at 9 am  and we did not have a tour until after lunch so we had the morning to do a few chores and some preliminary packing for our trip to Iguazu Falls.  There were already two other cruise ships in the port, The "Costa Magica" and the "Silver Spirit".  Both ships were having a passenger turnover and the cruise terminal was packed when we left for our tour.  There were several thousand passengers that included lot of families with children that were waiting to board the Costa ship, we were told that they do a 10 day turn around trip to Rio. 

We could see four McD's from this location

Colorful buildings in the "La Boca" area

Lots of blooming trees

Evita's dresses on display

Colonial builing housing Evita museum

Our tour was a highlight tour that included the Evita museum and a visit to her tomb.  Buenos Aires is a pretty city with wide boulevards with lots of trees, many of which were in full bloom.  Parts of the city are very European and the people look European. 
We decided to cancel our evening tour to a tango show as we would have only had one hour to eat dinner and get cleaned up, plus we have to be ready to leave the ship at 6:45 in the morning for our trip to the falls.
