Buenos Aires from a Bus Top

Friday, April 17
We spent our first full day in Buenos Aires sight-seeing via the hop on/off Buenos Aires Bus,  several hours of narrated travel  to the principal neighborhoods and tourist sights of the city.  We travelled from the posh areas of Recoleta, Palermo and Belgrano through the city center to rough and tumble La Boca and back.  Buenos Aires is a very beautiful city with interesting architecture and lots of green spaces,  and countless statues and monuments honoring its history.
