Boogying in Buenos Aires

A delicious dinner at Karen's house (Serafin, Joshua, Karen, Katja)

The Subte -- Buens Aires' subway
The famous obelisk on 9 de Julio
A nice reflection on the water in Palmero's park
Katja, Serafin, Karen and I went to the Tigre Delta (north of Buenos Aires) to spend a pleasant Saturday afternoon. We first took a train, then a bus, then a boat to get to the island (Tres Bocas) where we meandered around for some hours.

On the tran ride home Katja pulled out a peach liquor... good fun!
Karen, our amazing friend and hostess, who managed to plan one amazing day after another while still studying and working!

A glimpse of the historical city charm mixed with the new and often distasteful marketing
A view of Puerto Madero at night

Images from the Recoleta -- the labyrinth-like cemetary where Argentina's famous, wealthy and elite are laid to rest.
Interesting mix of Jewish and Christian symbolism

Ornate sculpture and decorations bathe the place

Every Thurs. for the last 30 years the Mothers of the Plaza del Mayo have marched in protest of the disappearance of their children during Argentina's Dity War. When looking into their eyes they seem like sweet, old, lovable, little ladies who would invite you over for a chat and tea. It's amazing to think that these ladies once demanded justice in the face of death and continue to be devoted enough to the cause to show up every single week.
To this day very little has been done to account for these lady's children. Most of perpertrators walk Argentina's streets freely and little information has been given on what actually happened.

A submarino (submarine) is one the coolest items on the Argentine menu. It's a glass of hot milk served with a chocolate bar for melting in the milk. At McCafe's (yep, McDonald's has gone Starbucks in Latin America and actually does a fine job of it) the chocolate bar comes in the shape of a submarine! A gorgeous day along the Rio Parana
