Argentina to Brazil Adventure , Intrepid tour company

Hi guys

On our furst day if the tour that will end up in Rio in 10 days, we ended up walking around for hours. I decided we should go back to  El Ateneo Grand Splendid, the most known book store in Buenos Aires. I absolutely love this book store.  It opened as a theatre called Teatro Gran Splendid in May 1919. And  the ecleticist building features ceiling frescoes painted by the Italian artist Nazareno Orlandi andcaryatids sculpted by Troiano Troiani. It opened as a book store in 2007. And  what used to be a stage, is now a café.  We had a coffee there and it was very tasty.  



My other camera took great photos of the place but this will do for this blog. 

We met up with our new touur group at night and went for dinner (steak and wine, a must have dinner here). We are now a group of 12 people, mostly women. 2 from New York, 3 from Australia,  2 from UK (one from England and one from Ireland) and a man from Australia, and a guy that did not show up to tje meeting so not sure. 

We have an original walk today (funny because we have been here 5 days). Then an overnight bus (10hrs) to a ranch stay in north Argentina.  

Write soon, xo
