Buenos Aires and Palermo

After a week of partying in Salvador we head south again to BA.

The bikes finally see the light after 4 months in Martin’s garage.

Thanks so much also to Pia and Ramiro!

We rented a place in Palermo for a few days so we could all enjoy the city.

While we were having fun on the town the bikes were getting some work done at Touratch BA. Thanks so much for the great job!

We had a tour of the downtown with Pia. This included the Museum of Latin American Art,  the “PINK” house of the President, the white house where the country of Argentina was “formed”, the parliament, and the Cathedral.

The current exhibit here is of Antonio Berni. “Berni’s post-1950s work can be viewed as “a synthesis of Pop Art and Social realism.” In 1958 he began collecting and collaging discarded material to create a series of works featuring a character named Juanito Laguna. The series became a social narrative on industrialization and poverty, and pointed out the extreme disparities existing between the wealthy Argentine aristocracy and the “Juanitos” of the slums.”
