Back in BA for one last night

Well, that 6:30 am wake up call came very early this morning with the time change meaning we lost an hour of sleep on top of that but it was nice to get to Buenos Aires before noon to enjoy the day here. I can't say we will miss the chaos of Aerolineas Argentina which we have flown 6 times in the last two weeks, the thought of a business class flight home tomorrow on Air Canada does sounds heavenly (I hope they have the individual sleeper pods this time!)

We are staying at the Caesar Park hotel this time. It is a lovely hotel in the Recoleta district which we have stayed in before. While the room is probably the largest we have had this trip it is not quite as glamorous as the Four Seasons or Alvear Palace we stayed at for our last two legs here.

Here are a few photos of our room:




Today we returned to the Palermo district, a kinda funky artsy area, so that we could look at the art again and ended up buying another painting. The art here is very cool and very inexpensive, I am sure the framing will put us back a bit though. We have alot of bare white walls at home so this should fill up a few of them.
We bought the angel with the heart and this is the artist.



Here the artist and his artist buddies are removing the painting from its frame for us to carry home. (Jess is keeping a watchful eye on our new possession)

Tonight we are going out for dinner with Marc, Mike, Clare and Paul but before that we are meeting in our suite to do a wine tasting of a couple of the wines we brought back from Mendoza.
