Prior to getting on the plane to fly home, we had to get a molecular PCR test on our own. This proved difficult as our Recoleta airbnb Internet service was spotty at best, websites were not well written and none of us were fluent in Spanish. But, we managed to get our team of four travelers all an appointment at a local facility for a Covid test with 24 hour turnaround. Luckily, we all continued to test negative for the virus.
That behind us, we then took in the city from a tourist perspective. Dulce de leche, coffee, medialuna (crossiant), empenadas, wine and beef all were on the menu. We were fortunate to eat all of our meals outdoors as the weather was extremely pleasant.

We noticed extremely large square loaves of bread being delivered while we ate a meal downtown Buenos Aires. Sure enough our ham and cheese sandwiches were cut from these blocks of bread cubes! OMG
