Last night ended up being very laid back. I went out around midnight and wandered teh streets a little. It became to clear to me that this is simply a culture of eating late and going out late. Even the older couples were just finishing dinner around midnight. I settled on a bar called 36 Billares (36 pool tables) who had a band starting at 1. I had a liter of beer and walked home.
Today, I headed to the historic barrio (neighborhood)of San Telmo. It is full of cobbled streets, street markets, fabulous restaurants and a vibrant art and Tango scene. I enjoyed a street Tango show that was amazing and picked up several souvenirs from the local vendors. I am enjoying walking around alone. I take in a lot more of the city. I stumbled upon a museum/unique site in San Telmo called Zanjon de Granados which was supposedly the center of the colonial settlement in Bs As. They had only recently discovered the site and a network of underground tunnels. The building (originally a mansion) had been meticulously restored. It was a neat place to see.
