Mas Bife, La Boca and Puerto Madryn – Day 3 5-16-14

You would think after 2 days of steaks, we would be ready for a change.  Nope!  Headed to our favorite lunch bargain, Parrilla al Carbon, followed by a visit to La Boca.

La Boca is right by the mouth of the river (Boca, in fact, means mouth) and the houses are vividly colored. Historically, the area has been a poorer pocket of BA, and the houses were colored with paint leftover from painting the hulls of the ships that docked here.

Kane was excited to buy a Argentine National Team Jersey in La Boca.  We visited La Boca Futbol Stadium and grabbed a taxi to Puerto Madryn.

Walking along the river with the brick warehouse that have been converted into restaurants, stores and offices, made me feel like I was in another city.  It is so beautiful!

That night we had dinner in Palermo at Siamo Forno after waiting outside for 15 minutes for it to open at 8pm(Our kids are used to going to bed at 8:30pm, so it is a little challenging having dinner at 8pm). Unfortunately, the pizza was not filling, so we ended up McDonalds for a snack on the way back to our B&B.  🙂
