On Friday Heidi and I decided to go to a nice mall called Alto Palermo. We asked the front desk if it was walking distance or if we should take a taxi. They said we could walk it and showed us where to go on the map. Turns out is was about a 30 minute walk, which normally I wouldn't mind, but the air quality is so bad. It is what I assume downtown New York is like. There are so many people and so many cars and the smell of exhaust is quite overwhelming. The mall was really beautiful. Probably 4 stories tall filled with designer shops.
Buenos Aires has a lot of amazing museums. After spending a little money at the mall, we went to the Malba Museo. It was so amazing. It was my first time in a museum of that size. The architecture of the building was incredible and the art work was very modern. They even had an original Frida! How many people can say they have seen one of those!
For our last night we decided to treat ourselves to one of the very best restaurants in Buenos Aires. It was at the Hyatt hotel and is called Duhau Restaurant and Vinoteca. It was so elegant. We had at least 4 people waiting on us. The food was amazing...except the forgua (I am not sure how to spell that) which is duck kidney pate. Guess my tastes are not that refined.
After dinner we went to another expensive and classy hotel called Faena Hotel and Universe. We had some super expensive champagne and observed all of the rich and beautiful people in a red swanky room with antique looking furniture.
