If you've seen any pictures of Buenos Aires, you know that it's full of this amazing graffiti. It's colorful, it's political, it's some of the most talented artwork I've ever seen (and I'm not that easily impressed.) So today, to fully experience all of the incredible graffiti BsAs has to offer, Lauren, Callie, Stephanie and I went on the Graffiti tour through Graffiti Mundo - http://graffitimundo.com/en/ . The tour last 3 hours (3 to 6 pm), costs AR$90 and it's mostly in Palermo Hollywood and Palermo Soho. The cool thing about this tour was that our guide, Ana, personally knows most of the graffiti artists. She's actually dating one, and his work was literally EVERYWHERE. She knew the stories behind the artists and some of their pieces and to actually know what an artist is thinking as they're painting a certain piece completely changes the way you, the spectator, view that piece. Today was a great day for the tour, the air had a fall crispness. Near the end of the tour, the temp. started to drop and we all decided it was time for a café and a cupcake from MUMA'S (I'm obsessed!) The girls got a Lady from NY cupcake (Steph), Patagonia (Lauren), and Carrot Cake (Callie). I'm kinda ashamed to admit this, but I've already tried ALL of those flavors! And they're all delicious, trust me. This time I tried the Café Ole (Tiramisu) and it was just as good as the others. yummm :)
