It was spring. The trees and gardens were full of flowers.
The sky was blue and weather warm.
We caught up with friends, if not with sleep.
We saw tango, drank malbec, and ate steak.
It's a great city.
Ahh, the omnipresent tango
City seal, Buenos Aires
Spring, and bits that look like European cities
Britt and Alan in one of the many parks filled with magnificent trees
the mix of old and new (I can't seem to do anything about the random direction in which photos are loaded)
Plaza de Mayo, white scarves of the Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo, in honor of the 10s of thousands of individuals who "disappeared" during the Dirty War, 1976-83
Typical street scene, and "look" of the young B.A. professional
Cafe Tortoni
Two B.A. institutions: Cafe Tortoni and Nat'l Tango Academy

| Like the Callao neighborhood in Lima, La Boca has a port and brightly colored houses, said to have been painted with leftover paints from the boats |
