Buenos Aires


This is a late entry because we went on this trip last year. I have since started my blog, inspired by my trip to Madrid. When my wife and I decided to start taking advantage of her Spring Break by traveling to places we have always thought about, Buenos Aires was high on my list. I have never traveled farther south than Panama, having flown to the canal zone Air Force Base as a Navy pilot when I was assigned to Roosevelt Roads Naval Station Puerto Rico. Buenos Aires always held a mystique for me and it was a perfect spring break trip. No competition with spring break travelers, about the same time zone and an evening departure from ATL with an early am arrival.
After web searching for a place to stay and consulting with a fellow pilot who grew up in Buenos Aires (BA), we decided upon a B&B for the first part of the week and an apartment for the last part. It worked out great and we loved both places as they were in terrific locations, both in the Recoletta area of BA. The B&B, Tesorito Bed & Breakfast (Ecuador 1250 PB°D
Buenos Aires, Argentina (54 11) 5778 1039 www.tesorito.com.ar, is owned and operated by Fernanda and Ahmed, a lovely couple, whom we quickly befriended. The breakfasts were frech and filling, their warmth made you really feel welcome and they will give you good advice on where to go and how to get there. It is in an older building, but the rooms are large, spacious and tastefully decorated. I highly recommend it.
