| The exterior of Teatro Colon, the world-famous opera house |
Raining heavily. We had nothing scheduled until the evening so decided to take a guided tour of
Teatro Colon, the famous opera house in Avenida 9 Julio. We saw the impressive entrance with three different types of marble, heard how the first two architects both died within a year, saw the beautiful painted ceilings and chandeliers where guests gather to chat and be seen, and then sat in the VIP box to watch a ballet rehearsal.

At the tango show - dinner first, music and dance later
|
In the evening we went to a
tango show and dinner in San Telmo. Most of the audience members were Japanese ladies. It was very enjoyable: the insistent music and dance rhythms get into your head and won't go away, but the show finished very late. We got back at 12.30 am, feeling exhausted.
