Monday and Tuesday

Monday, May 2nd, we went on a private tour of the collection of Marion and Jorge Helft.  There was a lot of modern art and some very unusual pieces.  Can't wait to show you pictures.  Marita holding the naked guys hiney...we then went to Villa de Oca,mpo for a tour of Victoria Ocampos Villa.  She was ahead of her time and somewhat an eccentric who reminded me of Marita.  We were then served a lunch of something other than beef...salmon that was very good.  After lunch we returned to the city for a private tour of Malba (Buenos Aires Museum of Latin American Art.  Our guide Matilda,who was an enthusiastic young lady who was very knowledgeable, gave an Excellent tour.  We then went to dinner with a few of the people from the group.  

Tuesday, May 3rd
We had an early wake up call to board a ferry to go to Uruguay for the day.  The ride is about an hour.  We are going to Colonia del Sacramento.  It is a UNESCO World heritage site.   We took a tour with a local guide..  Lunch o f fish and pasta with a local red wine.  We then had some free time for shopping before passing through immigration and boarding the ferry to return to Buenos Aires.
