Once we finished breakfast and Mae had briefly chatted to Kim we left the hostel to explore the remaining touristy bits of the city. We walked further along 9th Julio until we reached the French embassy. This building is so grand and Parisian in style that it is in fact marked on the tourist maps, we admired it for a while before turning left and walking down towards the Recoleta area. We arrived at a series of small, pretty parks flanked by expensive looking cafés. It also turns out to be the arts district with each park surrounding some kind of art museum, more interesting however were the massive trees which stood in the centre of the park, huge roots sprawled out beneath them preventing any other substantial plants from living here. Mae eventually decided not to climb one and we walked a short distance to the cemetery. Although the cemetery is technically free to enter, the people hounding you means it's actually difficult to get in with donating to something or another , we ended up giving $2 to feed some kids or something (I assume they are poor kids, but I could just as easily be providing the rich kids lunch money) The cemetery itself is incredible, with tombs of all styles, ages, stones, states of repair, etc... you could spend days looking around it, after which you would need several more days to watch the fascinating lives of the many cats who seem to live here, although we aren't sure if they are supposed to or whether they just can't be bothered to kick them out. We spent several hours looking around and by the time we left were starting to feel very hungry. We decided to get something to eat, which you would think would be quite simple in such a huge city but no, it turns out that all the restaurants close between 4 and 8 so after looking around for almost an hour we finally gave up and went back to the hostel where Mae talked to her dad on skype. We left again around 7 and walked into the centre of town where we were forced to wait once more for the restaurants to open again. Fortunately while we were waiting we came across a pair of couples who were performing Tango on the street for tips (well half the time they were performing and the other half they were posing for photos.) who we watched dancing for some time, trying to work out if it was improvised or choreographed. We came to the conclusion that it was probably a bit of both and proceeded to a 'Parrilla Libre' (all you can eat) for dinner. One thing that Argentina is famous for (apart from wine) is it's beef which we have been meaning to try, of course you could go to a grill house and pay $7 for a steak or alternatively you can go to an all you can eat and pay the same price for whatever you want, the trick is simply to find an all you can eat which has a barbecue part. The food was delicious, not only did we get to try the beef (which was really good) we also got proper cheese (including blue cheese to go with the steak!) for the first time since Lima and even healthy salad!! Neither of us could help going back for a second and even third plate. Fully satisfied and completely stuffed we waddled back to the hostel and went to bed early in anticipation of the next 4 nights which we would be spending in airports.
