Guiding me to nowhere

So I came down here prepared with multiple guide books, hoping they would lead me to great restaurants, bars, and sights throughout the city. One day, I decided I would try a restaurant recommended in one of my guide books so I went with a couple friends after class. We had a great afternoon walking around Palermo, did some shopping, saw some graffiti, buttt what do you know the restaurant didn't exist. Thanks for nothing, guide book.

We did end up finding a great place to eat though, and I got my first real salad since I've been down here which was refreshing. I also had my first panqueque con chocolate y dulce de leche which is like a little crêpe with melted dulce de leche and chocolate that was clearly delicious.

Moral of the story is I guess you can't always assume your guide book is going to guide you somewhere?

Here are my pics of the day..

Graffiti in Palermo

a cool store


with the coolest outdoor dressing room


mmm lettuce


Then we went to MALBA, Museo de Arte Latinoamericano de Buenos Aires, which is an awesome modern art museum (free for students on Wednesdays!) and snuck a few pictures without getting "in trouble"






Andy Warhol's 


And made it home in time for dinner
