buenos aires

hey all--my communication's getting worse and i'm getting busier by the minute. but in the interest of putting off the paper i have to write for a few more minutes, here are some pictures from the week (and i think even a video of tango!).
it was really great. i loved bs as, but it also made me happy i chose santiago and excited to come "home."


this is the widest street in the WORLD! courtney and i thought it was pretty funny that it was an "attraction" listed in the guide book.


these are mothers of some of the thousands of "desaparecidos" or "disappeared ones" from the dictatorship. the gather every thursday to protest various causes. the women with white scarves on actually lost children.


this is a plaza outside in the centro, just love the pic. wish i knew how to rotate it.


this is the view from the apt we stayed in. a great place.


us on the first day and...


us on the last day, on the way to chile! (and i'm wearing the same thing...never a good sign.)


a street antique fair in a neighborhood called san telmo.


a tango group in san telmo called las ranas. we bought their cd.


the cemetery there. it was amazing. this is one of many fotos.


and this is the mausoleum of eva peron. (think "don't cry for me argentina." thank you andrew lloyd webber.)


and, if it works, here is a video of some tango dancers we watched during lunch one day. they were amazing. there were coed couples, but both guys were better, so it was great when they danced together. and that was another thing i loved about bs as, diversity! a short escape from the homophobia of santiago! :)




chao!
