This was the longest tourist day of our vacation. I had only one thing in mind of what my first day had to include and it was to see the famous obelisk in the widest avenue in the world. One of my friends was our tour guide this day. It was wonderful to have a local take us around and explain what all of the beautiful buildings were. There were some places that she had not seen after a year of living in the City.
Our day started with a train ride to Retiro, the main station in the City. The building was beautiful. we started our walking tour towards Plaza San Martin. This plaza is surrounded by European-style buildings.

After taking lots of pictures of the plaza we kept walking towards Calle Florida a pedestrian street with many stores, restaurants, and the Galerias Pacifico. This is the most beautiful shopping mall that I've ever seen.

Up to this point we walked over 5 miles which is a lot for 2 people that drive everywhere. We were ready for lunch and a long break to continue our City tour.

DeleteAmazing photos! I didn't realize you guys walked so much. That must have been exhausting. I love walking but after a long day of it I can just nap for hours and sleep away the rest of the day! Still, very cool to see as much as you did. It looks awesome!
