los buenos aires

buenos aires comes by its name honestly

a charming, breezy, melange of architecture and trees

covered in graffiti!

it is legal there

woot woot! i had a blast

what should not be legal are the portions of beef they serve. EVERYWHERE!

(tasty though!)

of particular note was the collection of contemporary latin american art at MALBA

political, vibrant, intriguing, humourous, alive. good stuff.

the antiques in san telmo were another joy

a year could be spent sorting through them. fun.

porteños are a friendly big-city bunch if you engage them a little

black and yellow taxis dot the city like confetti

often, a certain type of argentine gentleman was at the wheel, willing to impart some interesting insight

a toast of fernet branca to my lovely time spent in BA! salud!

muchas gracias argentina!

hasta la próxima!

uruguay natural

i had the very good fortune to spend some time discovering uruguay

i was charmed by its nature

relaxed and friendly

intensely green

with the most handsome livestock

driving the highways felt like an ad for the car i was in

beautiful beaches for days
