Día Nueve: Teatro Colón

The last day and we both feel a little bit sad. We started the day by visiting Teatro Colón on Avenida de 9 de Julio. The guided tour of the building wasn't that intersting and we unfortunately did it in english with all that it brings (weird people from Kansas). Spanish should have been the choice.

We met my collegue Luis at Bar 6 in Palermo Viejo and had a fantastic 2-hour lunch. Palermo Viejo reminds me of Notting Hill in the mid-90's. Still a little unknown but buzzling with ambition and change. Luis answered all the questions we had about Argentina during the past few years - about the sentiment and about the future.

As the sun set we had too take farewell for this time, but not the last. Buenos Aires had during our first stay brought out it's best show and we were both bedazzled and in love. The people - except for that last crazy cab driver - were so friendly, the city glowing and the food radiant. As the Governor used to say: We'll be back!
