The neighborhood we live in is actually like the Pearl district of Buenos Aires. It’s very trendy and it has a lot of travelers. So I went for a long walk on Saturday to check out some other parts of the city. I headed along Av. Cordoba towards downtown before meandering through the neighborhoods. The city is fairly spread out with a constant mix of houses, apartment buildings, stores and restaurants. You never have to go more than a few blocks to find the necessities: fruit shop, carnicería, panadería, etc.
