I trekked off to San Telmo via Calle Florida and Plaza de Mayo. It was a shopping mecca and very hard for me to resist the abundance of leather jackets, handbags and boots. Instead, I've opted to collect country/city pins to put on my backpack. Boring I know but they are cheap and light. I'm sure I can do without another handbag or pair of shoes.

After a quick nap, Rachel and I headed to el teatro for Belen Maya en Argentina at ND Ateneo. The show was unlike any other flamenco show I have ever seen. Belen Maya is the daughter of two prominent flamenco artists and her style seemed modern and not as traditional as what I am used to. The music, singing and dancing were really incredible.
While I didn't get great photos or video to share, click on this link for an idea of what we saw here in Buenos Aires.
After the show, we went in search of a "snack" near our guest house. After a bit of miscommunication with the waiter (on my part), we ended up sharing more meat and potatoes! Oye! We were hoping for pork chorizo sausage...not beef chorizo which is actually a slice of steak. Oh well. We just shrugged our shoulders and happily ate our tasty meal.
