On Sunday I walked to the Recoleta area for the afternoon. It is about 2 miles from the hotel, and a pleasant walk. The Plaza Francia in Recoleta is always bustling with activity on weekends, with rows and rows of street vendors and performers. This was my second trip to this area, so some of the pictures may look familiar.

| Basilica del Santisimo Sacramento, about a block from my hotel. |
 |
| A Flatiron building at Plaza San Martin |
 |
| Circulo Militar |
 |
| The median on Ave. 9 de Julio, the major boulevard in town. |
 |
| The French Embassy. Beautiful, but hard to get a picture of. |
 |
| A beautiful old derelict home. What a bucketful of money could do with this! |
 |
| Plaza Francia. You can see the line of street vendors. |
 |
| Some boys playing in the trunk of the tree. |
 |

 |
| Argentine Dalmatian puppies. Very cute. |
 |
| Street vendor food. |
 |
| Young men performing gymnastics in the plaza |
 |
| I stopped in the Bullrich mall on the way home. Very upscale, reputedly the most so in all of town. Tiffany's is here. |
 |
| The Four Seasons Hotel. Guess VF didn't know they had one, or they would have put me up here. |
 |
| The opposite side of the French Embassy |
 |
| Trunk of the large tree in Plaza San Martin, which was catching rays of the late afternoon sun. |
