Buenos Aires feels very European in a romantic but graffitied sort of way, especially compared to where we’ve just spent our past year.  At first glance it seems that there are many beautiful old buildings here, big trees lining wide boulevards, and a new, interesting country to explore.  Since we are planning to stay here for a month, and because we’ve only really been here a day, we haven’t seen many “sights” so far.  Most of the tourist attractions in the city seem to be museums, buildings, a couple cemeteries and various plazas and parks throughout the city.  We have only really walked around the area where we are staying, San Telmo and stop every now and then to look at all the curious items in shop windows, admire brightly colored murals in sometimes unexpected places, or to glance up every now and then to admire the unique aspects of old buildings.  Our first step is to find an apartment, and then somewhere to take Spanish classes, and then we will see how this city really is.
