Buenos Aires – La Casa Rosa

“La Casa Rosa” is Spanish for “The Pink House” and the equivalent of America’s “White House” so it’s the center of government. We started our day at the obelisk below which was walking distance to the Pink House.

We did stop at this Metropolitan Cathedral. “Save Your People” in Latin below.

“La Casa Rosa” is listed below although with a shadow cast on it it looks more dark than pink.

There is a nearby museum that showcases the design and structure and some of the old structures from the 1800’s.

After the Pink House we wanted lunch and were told that “Napoletana” pizza is often served as a thinner crust than the traditional thick “Pan” style crust most pizza restaurants serve here.

While the crust was a bit more like “hand tossed” and a bit doughy it was great!

Here’s was $24,400 looks like in Argentine currency and the cost of the pizza and two drinks.

After lunch we headed to the Museum of Modern Art. We were surprised that it’s not only modern art but metamodern art which takes things to a whole new meta level!

Can you dig the meta modern?

One of my favorites below, the meta modern is mesmerizing.

My favorite artist in the museum was Valentina Quintero and below is some of her work.

Then I saw this and was mesmerized for hours.

There are many basilicas, cathedrals and churches and we didn’t have time to stop and see them all.

Walking around we saw a realtor shop and this was posted outside, a 4 bedroom apartment with balcony and 90 square meters 968 sq ft for $125,000 USD.

Not a bad deal? One of our guides told us the property taxes and upkeep can be expensive in some districts.
