buildings, sidewalks and dogs

while walking along

it is tempting to

always look up

to observe all the

interesting building

details,

due to the treacherous

sidewalk conditions

it proved a bit

challenging.

it seemed that every where

one went there

were dog walkers

or dogs tethered

to a railing waiting,

many strays could

be seen wandering

about,

the last fellow, having

a good scratch

seemed to live

near the casa rosada.

(clearly i was missing

miss m)

fruit and tables

little fruit and vegetable shops

can be found on every block,

in the last photo, the decorative

meat hanging around the walls

struck an odd note in a

restaurant specializing in

fish dishes.

tango

from all over the world

people travel here

to experience tango,

whether to see the shows,

take lessons, or

dance in the milongas.

a few glimpses

of a milonga

where the dancing

was elegant,

the music classic,

and as i

enjoyed my

glass of vino tinto

a novella unfolded

before me.

recoleta cemetery

la recoleta cemetery

is a very busy

place,

many cats,

workers, visitors,

students, guards

and even a mourner

here and there.

flowers and notes

are still being

left at evita peron's

tomb.

more information

on the cemetery here.

walking around

what i enjoyed the most

was to walk and explore

without a specific

destination.

botanical garden

a welcome oasis of green in a busy city.

information here.

wall art and the black cat

buenos aires has significant examples of graffiti art,

tours can be booked here. these are a few random

images i managed to snap while dashing about getting lost.

the el gato negro is another cafe that has not changed

since it opened. it is a delightful place to stop in for

coffee or a sandwich, spices can be purchased as well.

i liked the canisters with the black cat logo. more

information can be found here in spanish.
