First venture into downtown Buenos Aires

Travelled on the Subte D line from Juramento to Catedral.  Walked along Av. Florida which was very busy with tourists and street stalls selling local products.  Nearby was the Plaza de Mayo, the main square in the Monserrat barrio of central Buenos Aires and  hub of political life in Argentina.

Enjoyable cup of tea in Cafe Matinez


Piramide de Mayo, constructed in 1811 to celebrate the first anniversary of the May Revolution. 
Casa Rosada, the executive mansion and office of the President of Argentina.
