B-A and Holidays part 2

     Well, it ended up being pretty late by the time I got home last night so I didn't end up posting.
     When we got home from walking by the Puerto Madeira we had sandwiches and carrot salad, then my parents napped while I practiced.  In the evening we kept figuring out how to organize everything we want to do here and we met Linda and Johann from Manu for a pizza dinner.  We thought we were going to s neighborhood venue, but there was a line stretching out the door.  If I remember correctly, somebody (guidebook/parent) said that it was the "best pizza in town" and it was very good..  We have a lot of leftovers.
     This morning I took the subway for the first time--we went to the Teatro Colon, and will be going to a ballet this evening.  Also walked back to the travel agency.  At this point I really have no idea what we will be doing, so I will continue to just follow my parents. 
     I thought of a few things that I meant to mention earlier, but I'm not sure that I can remember them.  One was that the presidential palace that we saw on our walk yesterday is (reputedly!) painted with white-wash mixed with cows' blood and that's why it is pink.   The others will come to me. I will probably post again this evening.
