Travel Archives - Buenos Aires For 91 Days

For 91 Days in Buenos Aires

We lived in Buenos Aires, the capital of Argentina and the world's 7th biggest city, for three months -- from February to May, 2011. It was still summer when we arrived, and after a chilly winter in Savannah, GA, we were happy to explore our new temporary home in shorts and sandals. By the time we left, the temperatures had cooled down, but we were still enjoying brisk, sunny fall days.

Retiro Train Station

The most important train station in Buenos Aires in the Estación Retiro, found within walking distance of Plaza San Martín.

Riding the Bus

After watching a few barrel at breakneck speed down San Telmo's tiny cobblestone streets, more inclined to use their horns than breaks when approaching an intersection, we concluded that buses must be the fastest way to get around Buenos Aires. And funnest.
