On Thursday, our literature teacher Guido took us to Florida street. There are a lof of historical sites and places that various important people either frequented or lived at. We met at London City, a cafe where Julio Cortázar wrote Los Premios. We have been reading some of his work in class so it was neat to see the exact place where he wrote what we had already read. After, we walked around to a few other sites.
Here are a few pictures from our trip:
Cafe Tortoni is over 150 years old. This was a favorite spot of Carlos Gardel and Jorge Luis Borges.
Oh, just your average mall in Buenos Aires, the Galerias Pacifico.
The class with our professor, Guido.
After we walked inside the largest Burger King in South America. It used to be the residence of the Argentine president, M.T. de Alvear but was then converted into a fast food restaurant with three floors.
I found it a bit sad that such a gorgeous building would be converted into a fast food chain from the United States.
