Here are some final thoughts and pictures from Buenos Aires. Hope you enjoy them...
For a prairie girl, the vegetation was always a source of fascination. Unfortunately, my camera often didn't provide very interesting results, but this tree was cool. Gwen, do you remember the blue toilet brush Mom used to have? Or the artificial Christmas tree Aunt Colleen and Uncle Phil had? This is about the same size, only red. Sorry, but I couldn't get those images out of my head.
The best outdoor local craft market I've been to...
Public art displays were always something to behold. John called this the paper oragami boat statue.
This gigantice "flower" opened up to face the sunlight, closing at nighttime.
Some really lovely real estate. Forget Kelowna.
Fancy shmancy, 19th-century style
The towering obelisk commemorating the 400th anniversary of Buenos Aires' founding
Turtles in on a wrecked ship in the harbour
The rejuvenation of the old harbour area used old cranes as art. They look a little like a 4-legged version of the bird
An enormous rubber tree
The street music was varied, passionate and eclectic.
Art in the mall.
For Maja. These well-behaved pets waited patiently for their dog-walker to return from his coffee break at McDonalds. These are the little dogs. I didn't get any good pictures of the groups of big dogs tied together. That was a sight!
Next, Iguazu!
Love, Grace
