From city & country - buenos aires & salta

buenos aires is home to the largest book store in south america (maybe the southern hemisphere, i forget). with lkm´s mom and aunt, we spent some of our last day in buenos aires at el ateneo, a converted theater stocked full of books. its lkm´s mom´s dream to work in a book shop like this.

the balconies had great little coves to sit and read all day.

also found an interesting little lights store in the palermo district of buenos aires. the owner used mesh wire, scrap metal, and beads to make animal lights. i´m trying to convince lkm to abandon her law career and open a shop like this in san francisco or portland.
