As a result, very little of Buenos Aires's colonial heritage exists today, save for Cabildo and Catedral Metropolitana surrounding Plaza de Mayo, both of which have been altered dramatically over time, and several churches within Monserrat and San Telmo. That is why I decided to get a <a href="http://www.4rentargentina.com" title="buenos aires apartment" rel="nofollow">buenos aires apartment</a> in those neighbourhoods!Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03834947660835630077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7253009424316586030.post-59161504361166892842012-08-25T07:08:06.333-07:002012-08-25T07:08:06.333-07:00Hi Sandra, Muchas Gracias! :) A new adventure in ...Hi Sandra, Muchas Gracias! :) A new adventure in unknown territory.

And how clever of you to start practicing Spanish. <br /><br />I can't wait to hear more about your plans!<br />sandrachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00957358953411540844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7253009424316586030.post-72256368892297246332012-08-23T19:23:30.365-07:002012-08-23T19:23:30.365-07:00Hi Annie, thanks so much for your comments.

I love visiting gardens and will love seeing their Japanese Gardens. Hope it is as good as the one in Oregon. <br /><br />Thanks so much for that link. I already checked out his photos and wow that pizza looks delicious. I think there are some great Italian food and Japanese food there both of which I love. I'm tempted to taste a nice juicy steak but I haven't had beef in 20 plus years and not sure if it'll sit right tasting it again. I will probably stick to the vegetarian, seafood and pasta/pizza choices just to be safe. <br /><br />I checked out that guys other photos from his trip and they were really cool. I think I'm going to have fun with my photography there. <br /><br />Yes, I'm getting very excited. Someone I met at work lived in Buenos Aires for 6 weeks on a Study Abroad and I have been asking her questions about the transportation and sightseeing. She did many things that I have on my must see list which is cool. And she's been helping me with my Spanish. She's really nice about that, especially putting up with my mispronunciation. Ha, ha.<br /><br />Thanks so much for the support, your wonderful tips and shared Links Annie. It's helping a lot. <br /><br />Have a great weekend.

Glad you got in the bohemian neighborhood. The Japanese Gardens sounds like a fantastic place to take photos. <br /><br />http://www.flickr.com/photos/wallyg/7844143520/in/photostream<br /><br />I just stumbled across this on Flickr - a pizza place in La Boca founded in 1932. The pizza looks great! This guy has some other good BA photos too. <br /><br />I know you must be getting so excited! Annienoreply@blogger.com
