We started with a fun date at sunrise on the rooftop of our hotel. đź’ś
I love how our tour company EF is centered around education, and giving people authentic experiences. It tends to avoid the activities aimed only at tourists. Today we learned the history and tried our hand at fileteado porteño, an Argentinian style of painting recognized in 2015 as an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. Originally it was used to decorate carriages for high government officials or important people. Now you see it on signs everywhere here.
Then we explored the huge San Telmo Market. It was like an art education with every kind of craft, painting, wood work, musical instrument, ceramics, and more that you can imagine. I would like to take a photo. I walked 14,000 steps most of them in this market.
We took photos at the Women’s Bridge.
The day was packed, and we still had activities to do! Next up: a tango lesson!
Then a fun dinner show. (Argentinians have weaponized food and wine: salad, steak, fish, fresh vegetables, choice of many desserts.) SO MUCH FOOD!
The dinner show was one that even locals go to. The tango was A level, and it was the kind of tango that is acrobatic—part seductive dancing, part gymnastics, part ballet. There was also traditional music.
The EF staff was so amazing and went above and beyond for us. This was our last night together. I had made each of them little travel pouches and they really liked them. and said “Take a picture of us together”.
