Beautiful Women, Beautiful Buildings

---

It´s a bright, warm, and sunny day!

We are slowly recovering from jet lag, but took our first malaria pills today, and can feel the effects.... We will stay in BA til Sunday or Monday, and then take the overnight bus to Iguazu Falls (an 18 hour trip) (but there are recling seats so, in theory, we will sleep.

The women here are almost all very well dressed, thin, and tanned. Even older women are dressed very fashionably, as are the little kids. Lots of clothing shops everywhere....

Yesterday we ate brunch in a cafe (probably one the more expensive ones we now think) and watched the parade of people go by. A young woman came into the cafe with black hotpants and a shirt that just covered them...long tanned legs...even the waiters (who looked pretty blase) couldn´t stop staring!

We walked most of the afternoon and evening, going to the bus and train stations to check on prices and times, and then through parks and the shopping street. It is light until around 900 pm....and people are just eating dinner then...

We decided to cook breakfast in our apartment, so shopped before returning home.

Today we will do more of the walking tour in Recoleta, Retiro, and Centro.

The coke bottle building
This is near our hotel.

A typical street
There is mix of architecture everywhere.

These large trees are in all the parks.
We saw this park, we think, on ¨House Hunters¨¨!

The Kavanaugh Building
Built in the 30´s, by an Irish woman..it is on the giant Avenida de 9 julio. In front is the memorial to the Maldives (Falklands) war dead.

Mural inside the Galleria Pacifico
Wouldn´t find this kind of public art in the USA...
