Our sojourn in the Southern Hemisphere is rapidly approaching the end. We’ve seen Argentina top to bottom, and made forays into Chile, Uruguay and Brazil. From the cold of Ushuaia to the tropical jungle of Brazil it’s been quite a journey. We have two more nights in Buenos Aires, and today we’re going to the Parque Tres de Febrero, also known as Palermo Woods, regarded as the best park in the city. Tonight we’re going back to the Tango Porteño since Patty and Steve have not seen a Tango show yet.

Palermo Woods is famous for its rose garden and beautiful small lakes.

After walking through the gardens and enjoying the beautiful summer sunshine, we found ourselves outside a nice little restaurant called Celine, and stopped for lunch.

After a pleasant lunch we went back for a nap. Tango Porteño begins at 8 PM, but we were there early, so we walked around the Obelisco and enjoyed the cool evening breeze.

The Tango show was again spectacular, and the meal was decent. Tango Porteño is more like a Broadway production than a typical Tango show, and in retrospect I would have liked to see a smaller show in a more intimate setting. As one of our tour guides said, Tango shows are for the tourists. Tango culture is very much alive in Argentina, with its own unique atmosphere, usually very late into the night.

After midnight was late enough for us, and we Uber’d home to sleep.
