A quick getaway? I'm in.


Early in July, I treated myself with some days in Buenos Aires, which is always a joy. There's so much to see, visit, buy and taste that I get a bad case of anxiety. This time I wanted to enjoy more, forget about the things i would not be able to do, walk a lot, take pics, look around, write on my travel journal, drink lots of coffees. Thankfully, I managed to do all that and more. You see, I live a bit far away from Buenos Aires. It's 9 hours by bus (and I never sleep on buses) so when I plan a trip to the capital city i have to take advantage of time and money. Now, it's time for me to shut up. Feast your eyes, for Buenos Aires -though expensive- is beautiful!


Isn't it just amazing?
Hope one day you can visit too if you haven't yet.

Oh, and why not throw in a today's song too?

Last, but not least. This is happening soon.


I'm too excited!

Over and out.



A short walk on a Saturday morning


I went for a walk around my neighborhood and came back with a few pictures of the view. They were taken with an iPod touch so... sorry for their poor quality. While walking and breathing in the fresh air, I listened to Vance Joy, a young Australian singer who has just released his EP "God loves you when you're dancing". I like the first single, "Riptide", in particular. Puts me in a good mood and makes want to dance. You can watch the song's official video (very bizarre) here or... see him singing it and playing the ukelele.


I walked and took pictures and then met a friend


(I got a little carried away with the pictures, didn't I?)

Yesterday I went to Bahía Blanca, a bigger city near mine, to meet a friend who was visiting her family. I had not seen her for ages! and as she's going through a rough patch we chatted for hours and hours over tea and sandwiches. We had a lot of catching up to do. Before arriving to the Cafe, I walked a few blocks down Av. Alem, a very fancy and beautiful street, filled with posh houses with neat gardens and lovely old buildings. I pretended I had never walked that street before and tried to find new details and perspectives to photograph. And I guess I managed to capture a few nice shots of the avenue. 

For the looks on these pictures you would not see autumn is so close, there are still green trees and flowers everywhere! The day was a bit hot but not too much. Perfect for a stroll, listening to this gentleman I discovered thanks to toi and her exquisite taste in music.

Thank you for your sweet comments about the blog!
