Continuing... with Pictures of Buenos Aires

Sometimes I feel guilty for being on a vacation like this when so much is going on in the world and people who are close to me are faced with so many commitments. But on the other hand, I've had my cousin tell me how much he's enjoyed my pictures, and how they help him look forward to coming home.

So here are my pictures, from Buenos Aires:



Avenida 9 de Julio in downtown Buenos Aires, with a smaller replica of the Washington Monument in the background.



The "Casa Rosada" of Argentina.



Busy Avenida Cordoba at midday.



From left to right, Michael (from Texas), Kyle and myself with two pretty Chileans at Hostel-Inn in barrio San Telmo.



Boarding a boat in the pastoral area of the Tigre river delta, an hour northwest of Buenos Aires by train.



Our destination: Akù Akù. A relaxing restaurant facing a canal with hammocks, lawn chairs and games.



Myself with my friends and fellow Spanish students, posing behind lawn game with indigenous origins. Megan, Leigh, and Michael (from Virginia).



Midday Sunday in the famous antiques marketplace of barrio San Telmo.



Myself with more students from the Linguatec Spanish school at a house party. Eric, Neehar, Matthew, Roberto, and Rosie.
