AMO the ARG: when it rains and pours

if you were in palermo or recoleta last weekend and you spied a girl in a summer dress and sandals, positively soaked through, skipping between awnings, occasionally stopping to take a photo and wring out the sweater that she was using to shield herself and her camera from a direct downpour, that was me.

there were a few of us out.
they were a little better prepared, with umbrellas.
but maybe i had more fun?

she one upped me with the heels, i think.

this is actually what new york looked like the weekend i left...

AMO the ARG: food (mark's deli, palermo soho)

this "deli" at el salvador 4701 has a beautiful side courtyard...

mantecado...a butter cake with snowdrifts of confectioner's sugar...

little girl likes big coffee

on el salvador street...

(these 2 photos are my favorite, because i figured out the exact settings i wanted...)


later...while i was at dinner (dining under the stars), these gals were haunting the club across the street).

AMO the ARG: crossing borders (day 1, recoleta to palermo)

armed with 2 maps, z and i made our way went in search of a store she heard about that sold "the best tango shoes." we never found that store, but discovered our way from recoleta to palermo soho (i guess that's called, accidentally on purpose?)

in recoleta:

there are flower stands on many a corner...

and fruit stands too (i particularly liked their nectarines...)

the mall (with starbucks and a tgi fridays, no less) was within walking distance

z, pulling a a typical new york move, in BA

and palermo soho...

eco pampa is a newly opened hostel in palermo...(read more here)

the shops in palermo soho reminded me of venice, california...

it was nightfall, but i couldn't leave palermo without snapping a photo of jorge luis borges' house...
