Buenos Aires

The Family minus Mike in front of the Pink House, the main government building.

Street Corner in La Boca - La Boca is one of the Barrios of Buenos Aires. The people traditionally used left over boat paint to finish their houses making the neighborhood an area of bright, multi-colored houses. La Boca is where Tango Dancing began.

El Puente De Mujer - a bridge by a Spanish Designer who made the bridge to resemble a woman in the midst of a tango dance. It is sleek and beautiful and middle section swings open to let ships pass through.

San Telmo - Biking through the streets of San Telmo here on a tour. San Telmo is the location of the first battle in which Spain did not help Argentina and the Argentines realized they were strong enough to defend themselves against invaders.

Arriving at the Bank of the Rio De La Plata: The river that separates Argentina from Uruguay.

Las Bicicletas Naranjas all in a line.

Argentine Flag

Another government building I think, really beautiful.

We are back from South America now and happy to be in mellow Helena again. While there we had an awesome time with my Brother Mike and we got to know his girlfriend Danae. They were amazing tour guides. One day we crossed the Rio De La Plata to Uruguay. We visited a small village called Colonia. It was beautiful and I got some nice shots so I will post those soon. You can see all the photos on my flickr page if you are interested.
