Cordoba - 07/02/2011

We took a 10 hour night bus from buenos aires to cordoba as soon as we got back from mar del plata. We were trying to get to Mendoza but there wernt any buses so late (midnight) so cordoba it was! On our bus we met a german guy who is studying in Santiago. It turned out he was visiting a friend of his from Germany who is  studying in cordoba. So lucky for us as we got a free guided tour around the city! Knowing nothing about cordoba we found out it us the second largest city in argentina and was well worth the stop. We saw some beautiful churches but what was really cool was a paved reflected outline mirrored all the buildings around the city centre. A very nice touch. 
We made a quick stop to get some amazing huge ice creams then carried on through beautiful pedestrian only streets, parks and buildings. We saw people pulling down a small very old building to replace it with big apartment blocks which was very sad. We then watched in amazement as this extremely talented spray paintest did some pictures and unfortunately missed out of some of his work. After having an amazing steak for dinner we headed back to the bus terminal to head to Mendoza.
