My Pad & Neighborhood

---

Greetings all!

I found a much better website/home for my stories here in Buenos Aires. I added more pictures and I'll be able to keep you all updated much easier this way. I included a few pictures from my actual room and house and also the surrounding neighborhood of Belgrano. I am loving every minute of my experience here and this place continues to amaze me. Additionally, I posted some pictures from our group tour of the city to give you all an idea of what else this place has to offer.

Photos

Mi Casa
Photo of my house from the street.

Mi Cuarto
Small, but cozy... don't worry, there's a desk behind the closet. Plus, I don't really spend a whole lot of time in here.

El Jardin
The nice patio / garden that we have here behind the house. It's amazing on a nice sunny day (there are parrots too!)

Belgrano
This is the typical view on my morning walk to class.

Cementerio
The entrance of the Cementerio de la Recoleta, a famous cemetery in the Recoleta neighborhood where Eva Peron is buried.

Mas
Even more, the cemetery was unlike anything that I'd ever seen before. Just rows and rows of this amazing stone.

Plaza de Mayo
One of many beautiful shots from the Plaza de Mayo, which is basically the Capital.

Plaza
This building is right above the last stop on el subte (the subway) in downtown Buenos Aires... however, the name / purpose of the building elude me currently. I'm pretty sure it was a museum of some sort.

Pigeons!
A few crazy people playing with a crap-load of pigeons in the Plaza.

Boca
Last stop on the tour, Boca! It's a very colorful neighborhood located at the mouth (boca) of el Rio de Plata. It's not a very good neighborhood to be in, outside of the 2 block radius that we were allowed to wander.

Mas Boca
Another view of the brightly painted buildings in Boca.

Barrio Bonito
Futbol (soccer) is huge here (obviously)! This is a mural from the Nike ad campaign that ran during the World Cup. It says Barrio Bonito (Pretty 'hood).

Boca Juniors
Here I am close-up with one of the Boca Juniors futbol players (haha).

i'm gonna put a fucking comment title, what is this shit?
nice pics dude...good shite..."rather jealous" would be an understatement...hope you don't forget that you're going down there for school and then just get caught up in some cocaine drug ring where they have you kill a kid or something to be a part of it and then you start rising to the top and become a great drug lord because of your ruthless leading demeanor and your intolerance toward failure in general and your merciless acts of executing "disappointments" from your flawless clean machine of yayo production and then decide to not come back and cc slides back to a 2-8 season because of "certain weakside of defense" that was exposed all season...can you live with that guilt? so think before you kill that kid.... have a good time sir, Nuevo Dio de la cocaína, keep up the good work, some guy named shepherd
