lucky 13

Here is a monument to something or another (probably good óle Simon Bolivar- seems he´s the hero in all of these countries) in Plaza Francia.. or Levene, or Plaza Mitre- who knows, they´re all right next to each other in the northeast of Buenos Aires. Anyway, it was taken on Saturday... so many people in these parks and plazas just hangin´out, getting some sun- being lazy. It´s great. Look at Mr. Lazy blue shirt... he looks comfy, huh?
Street crossing in Buenos Aires
This was most likely the balcony that Evita sang her song from... either it was this one or one of the 25 others that look just like it
BIRTHDAY PARTY!!!!!! These crazies made me feel right at home. from left to right: crazy band man Boris, roomate Negro, birthday girl, Diego the Argentino with the car, and roomate Luciano. There actually were some others- including 2 more girls- on the opposite end of the table, but since I wasn´t in that picture I left it out. ( just being honest)
Gimnasio fans at the beginning of a futbol match a couple weekends back.
This is the river, the closest thing to a beach for hours. You can´t and really shouldn´t want to swim in it.
Laying out is sort of out of the question as well.
However, a good walk on the rocks with a friend is always a pleasure.
I sorta forgot to take a picture when I was blowing out my big candle and... well .. before we cut into it and ate a quarter of it. But here, a couple days after I marked my 26th, you can see the inside- mmmmm- its still SO good!

This is the blue line subte. It is the oldest known to man... or something like that. The doors need to be opened and shut by the passengers, the windows are always open, the seats are all wooden, the lights are lightbulbs with a hall or bathroom fixture- and they flicker on and off depending where the subte is at that exact moment.
These empanada people dance in the crosswalks only 3 blocks from my place in order to promote their restaurant on the corner. It is quite a show with really loud music and I tell you what... EMPANADAS CAN DANCE!!!! in any case, they are funny to watch
Here are River fans (the losers) during the middle of the futbol match with Gimnasio. It was SO hot that day... and the fans never stop the chants. It is continuous loud chanting for a couple hours straight. fabulous.
and finally.... the polo match. This was actually really cool. I didn´t know that polo was something other than a shirt or game that you play in a pool. I knew I came to South America for something! I´m a learning machine!!!!!!!!!!!
