We got up this morning and had breakfast in the restaurant at the hotel. Its really nice and has a huge skylight dome in the ceiling that is the dome you can see in the photo of the pool down further, so it looks up into the courtyard between La Mansion and the hotel.
After breakfast Jay went down to his business session from 9 -12 and I went up and did a workout and then confirmed my massage for 11am. I booked Jay a massage at 2pm too, I'll just go to the pool later while he goes to the spa. My massage was a bit of a cluster to get booked. I must have called down 3 times and stopped by twice and the receptionist, Constanza, each time would ask if she could call me back and confirm as she tried to book a therapist "Ah, yes missis Meedolton, can I call you back in your room and confirm the time?" So after my workout this morning
I called back down because I was supposed to get an email confirming the appointments so didn't and she said yes, it was booked. I went down to the spa at 10:45am after a quick shower and Constanza greeted me, had me fill out the pre-massage questionnaire and escorted me to the ladies locker room where I changed and hung out until my therapist came to get me - turns out Constanza must not have been able to find someone because SHE did my massage! It was funny, she came and said "Hello missis Meedolton, its me Constanza again and I'll be your therapist today"..my face said "Seriously?" while my mouth said "Hello again". Turns out it was a good massage, so all's well that ends well.
After the massage I met Jay for lunch up at the end of his business session, then we headed to the Tango Boutique where we were picking up accessories for the Tango night we're going tonight. Women got boas, hairbands with a flower and feathers and stockings if you wanted them. Men got hats and scarves..I went in and asked if I could have a hat and scarf instead and they said "Of Course, what you like" and then Alice, another girl here with her boyfriend said "Really? Ok good, I want a hat too please" Turns out there were 3 of us that got the hats as Alice's friend, Louise, ended up with the hat and scarf as well.
Jay went to the gym and for his massage while I went to the market with a group of people. There was an open air market about 6 blocks away that is set up every Saturday and Sunday.
I got these for the girls
After the market I took my iPad to the pool and sat in a lounger with an umbrella up. They do pamper you at the pool, which a couple of people had said - they brought us a little shot glass of mango smoothie (everyone around the pool), ice water, then later brought a little shot of icecream around, they have thick pads on the chairs and then put a cover on it when you sit down, give you a huge towel and have sunblock available on deck. They also came around at one point with a scented cold towel to refresh you. It was quite nice!
We left the pool area just before 5pm and had about an hour to get ready for dinner and a Tango Show.
(I have 3 photos, they're all blurry from Jays camera or the photographer I don't know!)
After the show we came back to the hotel on the bus, we were leaving as people were just THINKING of going out for the night in Buenos Aires, but we have to be in the lobby tomorrow morning for 6:30am for our flight to Iguazu Falls, so we all need our rest (thus me not doing the blog before bed on Saturday night).

We were to meet in the lobby at 6pm. We got down to the lobby and these were our rides to the Theatre!
Everyone on the street was taking photos and videos of the caravan of super cool old cars. It almost made up for taking the Charger with duct tape on the dash and the homemade paint job in Berlin.
Dinner was very good and between courses we enjoyed watching a Show

And Anthony's dopplegänger was dancing so Jay sent a picture to him (and all the guys) which was amusing to see the replies coming back.
