the Oblisk
This monument is in the meridian of 9 de Julio, the "worlds largest street" or so they say. The Oblisk was inaugurated in 1936 and to this day it continues to be ridiculed and criticized and a group... [more]
Siga la Vaca-Follow the Cow
This is the all you can eat restaurant in Puerto Madera on the water. We came at noon and stayed utnil about 2:15. Carlos got his fill of meat and was a very happy boy when we left.
The menu
The menu is 1 option: all-you-can-eat. It includes: 1 liter of a drink (soda, beer), unlimited trips to salad bar and bbq with meat, and a dessert at the end. 43 pesos is about $14. I'm not a big ... [more]
The cranes
The cranes are left over from when Puerto Madera was an active part of the port. Since then, this area has been renovated and become very similiar to the Pearl: restaurants and shops. They left the ... [more]
Sarmiento
This ship is named after their president and was built in 1897 and sailed 37 times around the world. After, it was used a teaching vessel and was retired from service last year. Beautiful boat!
Full speed ahead
Carlos always jokes that women can't drive, Imagine me behind the wheel of a big ship? Just think of all the damage I could do.
The floating museum
The ship is now a floating museum with artifacts and things from its trips around the world. This is a giant wrench...can you see my hand on the right? Big, big wrench.
The Pink House
La Casa Rosada, is the executive center of Argentinian government. A nice, pink building....my favorite color! NOT. We have the White House and they have the Pink House
Igesia de San Telmo
This was the church in the neighborhood of our apartment. Like all of them, it has beautiful architecture but was run down. There doesnt seem to be a lot of extra money to donate or concentrate on c... [more]
mini crocodiles
One of our stops on the trip was the BA zoo. Here is a photo of mini crocodiles. They were about 6-8 inches long....cute and scary at the same time.
The giant bugs!
The top middle one is almost twice the size of my hand I know they were dead, but a room full of big bugs gave me the heebie jeebies! I couldnt get out fast enough.
The rodants running free
In the zoo, there are these rodants running around, free, everywhere. You can buy food and feed them. I didnt get close. They look like a cross between a beaver, with rabbit legs
The honeymoon couple
In case I havent mentioned it like a million times, this is my incredible, amazing and handsome husband Carlos Hugo Horcos Abdo...long names these chileans have.
