Uruguay is Awesome!

For a country no one has ever really heard of, Uruguay rocks! It's a lot like Buenos Aires except there are fewer stray dogs, more sauce on the more delicious food, less people, fewer buses, more crepes, and the ocean doesn't smell bad! We had a blast!

BA Morning Tour

Lots of buildings...
1) Marriot Plaza Hotel - Argentina's first first-class hotel
2)The organ inside Basílica Santísimo Sacramento (the same brand as the one in Notre Dam)
3)The Kavanagh Building - once the tallest building in South America
4)A modern government loosely modeled after the 19th Centurty Palace reflected in its glass
5)The fanciest hotel in BA, Madonna rented the entire two floors with the balcony when she was filming "Evita" and rehearsed her famous song from it (always a marketing genius)

I've been working for BA Walking Tours and we're starting a new project where we're going to make a tour-related booklet. We hope to sell them on the tours as supplemental pictures/information and eventually sell them in stores to interested people (and potential clients). David and I went on a morning tour on Sunday and here are some of my favorite pictures from that. (Buenos Aires is a beautiful city and the weather was perfect!)

change we can believe in

We celebrated our two month anniversary by voting at the US embassy. We weren't allowed our camera inside (wait in line for an hour to leave all electronics at the door), so we've got a set of before and after shots here. (the second one has part of the Argentine flag in the back...that's what happens when you ask strangers on the street to take your picture, I guess).
