So, I’m not perfect, and I don’t always have my camera with me, so I miss things sometimes… in order to compensate and make this a more complete blog here are some pictures of allover the city, little everyday things.
Here’s a great magazine stand.
Avenida Florida– a pedestrian street with lots of shopping.
Rainy Corrientes.
Here’s a picture of how foggy the city was back when there were all the fires in the campo.
A cloudy sky on a rainy day in Puerto Madero.
The Obilesk at night.
Plaza Francia in the evening– a plaza in Recoleta right near me!
The Recoleta fair back when it was shorts-weather. The pink building in the background is the cultural center. This is practically my backyard– I tend to go there for pan relleno or just to entertain myself on lazy Sundays.
Retiro– a major transport hub in the city, where one can take a bus, train, or collectivo (city bus) to get around.
San Telmo on a Sunday.
A less commercial part of Avenida Santa Fe.
Some folk musicians outside La Rural in Palermo.
Glass bottles at the fair in San Telmo.
Avenida Cabildo in Belgrano.
A very empty Avenida Libertador– the view from the English Tower. Must be a Sunday, when everything in the city is closed.
Some traffic in the city.
Awful traffic jam / accident on Santa Fe and Juan B. Justo. Check out how huge the collectivos (buses) are compared to the cars!
Birds’ eye view inside El Ateneo, the theater turned bookstore I’ve posted about before. I think I’ve mentioned this, but I’ve been a bit disappointed at their offerings, even though it is a gorgeous place to visit. Down the escalator one can find a large variety of music and other media options.
The 159– not too useful for me, but a nice picture of just how close the buses get to everything in this city.
Classic — pizza and more.
Avenida Defensa in San Telmo– on Sundays this avenue is full of street vendors.
On that note, I think I might go back to San Telmo tomorrow– it’s totally overwhelming but I need to start doing a bit of souvenir shopping (don’t worry, I’ve been doing some along the way 
) and San Telmo is a good place. I’m also planning on going to the Japanese Gardens with Jenny (finally). I’m not sure what I’m going to do with my last month here– I need to make a little list to make sure I don’t miss anything. I’m sure I’ll be back to Buenos Aires, but it might be a while!
