Buenos Aires, Argentina

We spent two days in Buenos Aires; certainly an interesting and vibrant city.
The first day we took a local food tour visiting 4 restaurants. Fantastic way to sample the local cuisine.
The second day, we took a photography tour.
Our guide was a young photographer who took us to non-touristy areas.
My objective was to photograph local artists and their work.
