It's spring in Buenos Aires, but much warmer than it usually is.
There are lots of dogs in Buenos Aires, and many dog walkers like him.
Workers working on cobblestone street in San Telmo of Buenos Aires.

Plaza de Mayo.
Another shot of Plaza de Mayo.
Madres de Plaza de Mayo protesting on Thursday, 3:30 p.m. 30,000 people who voiced their opinion against the military government about 30 years ago disappeared. These mothers of those who disappeared protest around Plaza de Mayo, every Thursday at 3:30 p.m.
Many are holding pictures of those who disappeared.
More protesters.
These protesters lined up to march.
These mothers all wear white head scarves, with names of those disappeared.
Mothers marching past.
They walk in circle around for about 30 minutes.
Another shot.
There were many people who were taking pictures of the mothers protesting.
Most got pretty close and in front to get a good shot.
Another photographer.
A shot of the headscarf.
They appear to be filming a documentary. They were interviewing someone protesting with the mothers.
They walked with the protesters to film the documentary.
And other photographers also walked with the protesters to get a shot.
A shot of headscarves.
Another shot.
Afterwards, they congregated in front of the building where the Argentine president works. One of the mothers made a speech that I didn't understand. But I'm guessing they were demanding the return of their children or to know where their bodies were immediately (I understood "ahora" which is now).
A shot of the crowd listening to the speaker.
Bidets abound in Argentina.
Sockets in Argentina.
Our apartment key -- pretty cool set of keys.
There are no stop signs at a lot of intersections. This is right by our apartment. Cars just GO! They look and whoever's there, just go. No one stops... it's pretty scary but I guess that's the way they drive.
Cobblestone streets.
Metro that we took to get around Buenos Aires.
They have Peugot there.
We walked around the richest part of Buenos Aires, Palermo Chico. There were lots of big houses.
Another house in Palermo Chico.
And another house in Palermo Chico.

Andes mountain from the plane.

This is the best bottled water from Argentina. The other brand, Villaneva (I think??), tasted really weird.
Ok. So I really wanted to take a shot of the water flushing down the other way in South America... I guess this is the best I can do.
This is a vending machine in Santiago airport, which we couldn't get anything because we had no Chilean pesos!!
