A week in BsAs!

Where else can one enter shopping malls with angels outside, tango dancers ready to show off their skills? Where else in the world are there shopping malls with fountains, ceiling murals in estila Italiano? I don't know, please tell me! I am awed and amazed by everything I find in Bs As (as Buenos Aires is affectionately referred to). I have far more pictures, but won't belabour you with too much chachki in picture form. I leave below a few precious mementos of a week of exciting diversions with a new friend (and native Argentinian) who I shall refer to as "Izm". Thanks to precious moments with Izm, a great guide to the lost tourist whose tongue is tied!








My Buenos Aires Habitat.................... in Recoleta!

Ah Buenos Aires! Above is me in my apartment and the views from my apartment here.


What are these workers doing? I didn't know, but they sure looked very funny from here.










This is una capilla on Avenida Callao (I think).
I was on bus 110 coming from my first big
yarn purchase on Av. R.Scalabrini Ortiz y
Cordoba. If you know anything about what
a yarn addict I am, you'll know that my coming
back with only three small bags was a sign
of incredible self-control!








La Catedral on Avenida Santa Fe. The mosaic at the left is completely breathtaking.
Below: the mall on Av. Flordi






Puerto Madero above with the Bridge for Los Mujeres (dedicated to women who made a difference in the Argentine political/social strata....not bad! Do we have such a thing in America?)
Below: Recoleta Cementary (not a one-time visitor type of adventure...it is truly a collection of mini-castles dedicated to the dignitaries and past greats of Argentina alike. It is a place that defies description and is completely amazing to behold. Both Izm and I agreed that it is a place that one wishes to visit again and again as the labyrinthine streets unfold graves, monuments and mini-capillas dedicated to the long-lost. (And, many an interesting story of those who lie beneath...or whose bodies lie beneath...depending on your beliefs). Don't miss the last picture on the bottom left (Eva Peron...aka Evita).
