Before rekindling the blog for this trip, Buenos Aires was the last trip I posted. One of the places we loved on the BA trip in 2015(?) was the MALBA museum.
So for this trip, we skipped the group’s city tour itinerary and went back to the MALBA. Again, we were impressed by the curation of art – this time a husband and wife team that made art from the 30s-60’s. The museum is small but on both occasions we left with a greater understanding of the artists and the context in which they worked.
Meet Juan del Prete and Yente
The accommodations were in the Recoleta section of Buenos Aires, a fairly affluent side of town with all the luxury accommodations based there. We were posted at the Four Seasons but we spent little time there. Thanks to recs from LP and Andy’s sleuthing we enjoyed cocktails at a speakeasy behind a flower shop, excellent morning cortados, and a delicious and beautiful meal.
There was another group outing, this one to tango. We didn’t feel like we could miss it without offending folks so…
Tango is an important part of Argentine culture and we enjoyed the casual version that Cava Wine Lodge hosted over the one with the group in BA. But here are images from both and you can make up your own mind.
Lastly, we happened to be there during a national holiday – a truth and recognition day. The holiday acknowledges and honors its controversial past history of oppression and the “disappeared”. We witnessed marchers of varying political perspective along with dancers percussionists and other celebrants. I have a few pictures but in matters of truth and reconciliation one can feel like an interloper. So I took very few.

Your photos are amazing – as was the art. You did give us a glimpse into the textures, etc. that make it so extra special. Just love hearing all that you are doing – another fabulous trip!
