MALBA and Palermo


The Museo de Arte Latinoamerica de Buenos Aires (Malba)** hosts many artistes like Frida Kahlo and her husband Diego de Riviera, Antonio Berni, Xul Solar… My favourite is Wilfredo Lam (a kind of Cuban Picasso). For the record it is not the first time I’ve seen his painting as he is also at the Tate Modern in London. After the visit, I had lunch at the cafeteria of the museum; it was good but nothing exceptional.
Then I discovered the Palermo District***. This might be the area I want to live in. It is very calm with a lot of trendy shops, parks, bars and clubs.
On the student side, I think I know where I will take Spanish lessons - I should start on Monday. I am still looking for a flat, but an Argentinean couple invites me tomorrow for diner, as a friend of them has a flat to rent. I keep you up to speed on this one.
