February 4 - Taking it easy in BA
Yesterday was a nice, relaxing, lazy day. We awoke at 7am Buenos Airs time (5am DC time), and showered and prepared for the day ahead. As the lounge in the Sheraton was under construction we were invited to head over to the Park Tower (a *wood Luxury Collection hotel) next door for a complimentary breakfast in their St. Regis restaurant.
Breakfast was amazing. Fresh squeezed orange juice, tea, coffee, eggs, quiche, bacon, yogurt and tons of pastries and fresh fruit. Ah, to be platinum and staying at a hotel outside of the US where platinum status means something.
After breakfast we headed back to our room for awhile before catching the 93 bus on Libertador ($1.25AR each or $.29US each) which dropped us off a block from the Recoleta Cemetery, final resting place for Evita. Mrs. Dcstudent enjoyed all of the crypts (I did too but having been there before it wasn't quite as exciting), and then we headed off to the D line of the Subte to head to the end of the line, Catedral, near the Casa Rosada. A ride on the subway is $2.5AR each or $.58 each.
To be continued.
