Buenos Aires, Argentina.

The ferry from Colonia took only one hour and suddenly I was in Buenos Aires, the Paris of South-America!

I took the subway into Ricoletta wich is one of the most famous districts in town and where I had booked a bed in a dormitory.

Buenos Aires is the capital of Argentina and has a population of about 17 million. The country borders Bolivia, Paraguay, Brazil, Uruguay , The Atlantic Ocean and Chile.

This is the memorial of the soldiers that lost their lives during the Falkland War in 1982.

The military dictatorship under General Leopoldo erupted and was in desperate need for popularity among the people. The General decided to take back the Falkland from the British. The Falkland War was the demise of the military dictatorship. 

There are dog walkers are around every corner and in the parks. They are with groups of six to ten pets. The owners are rich and need someone to walk their dogs while they are at work. 

At Muceo Nacional de Bella Artes i found many paintings of famous artists: 

Goya, El Greco, Renoir, Rembrandt, Monet, Degas, Cezanna, Van Gogh, Gauguin, Picasso, Rubens and many more.

I also enjoyed an exebition of two Argentinian arists: Xul Solar and Lucio Fontana.
