photos de buenos aires

photos! i was going to say ´at long last´ but then i realised we´ve only been here a week. (it feels longer, although not in a bad way.) but caro´s been itching for photos (i don´t care AS much but it is cool to put them up) so here you are:

recoleta cemetery. at the edge of the cemetery you could see the craziness of the city behind the craziness of the cemetery, it was basically just insane all around

.

.

lion (if you can see her: this computer´s screen is so crappy that we can´t!!) in recoleta´s plaza de vicente lopez

.

.

this photo is for mum and dad: it´s the DUCK!!! or possibly a close relative, living in san telmo´s antiques market

.

.

the argentian cat empire playing in avenida florida. they winked at us. (and, as lion adds over my shoulder, blew kisses too)

.

.

football fans in la boca. they were almost shaking the buses singing and shouting out the windows and they danced off the buses around the corner towards the stadium

la boca

.

clothes for dogs in la boca. yeah don´t ask me why, i´m sure there must be a reason

.

.

cool street graffiti art in palermo (p.s. tom reynolds, this is YOU)

.

.

robo trying on some funky latin clothing in the coolest clothing store in the world in palermo (magda, you would have lost your NUT in this store, seriously)

.

.

...yes.

.

.

posing ´sexily´ (at least that was the aim: i think it may have failed dismally) in palermo (look at the street art on the right!!)

.

.

lion posing in front of a ship that we refused to tour because it would have cost 2 pesos (less than one australian dollar). we are super-stingy. we´ve also been washing our clothes by hand because it would cost about 3 australian dollars to do them at the laundromat: what a rip-off

so there you have it: a week in buenos aires. tomorrow we fly to el calafate (we could have taken the bus for three quarters of the cost but it would have taken 44 hours and we´re not that stingy, yet), and I am very excited. hiking! glaciers! mountains!
