the big city

spent a week in buenos aires with lkm´s mom and aunt. the city is huge and lively. tons to do... a week certainly was not enough.

haven´t been able to upload the lionshare of the pics yet, but here´s a few:

giant flower in one of buenos aire´s parks:

river plate soccer stadium:

we went to a match- river plate v. estudiantes. it was the end of the season and the match didn´t matter, but the home crowd still turned up in force. flares, banners, and constant singing and chanting. awesome crowd.

famous cemetery in recoleta:

the cemetery was huge. each grave was more like a small house, or castle. some were over a hundred and fifty years old and included whole family lines. great architecture in a city of the dead.

plaza de mayo in front of the casa roja (argentina´s white house... which is pink).
From the city and the country - buenos aires and salta

its an amazing city and we had a great time with lkm´s family. ate a ton of great food and wandered through buenos aires. more pics to come.
