Lasting impressions of Buenos Aires

There are far more parks and trees than you’d expect in a city with 13 million peeps.







Each neighborhood is very distinctive in it's vibe, look and character.  As we walked across the undefined borders the change was immediate.
















The women like to show off their stuff, whether it is good or not so good (mostly) with the tightest jeans we've ever seen.


All of the Tangoing (and tight jeans) must drive people crazy.  Passion is all around with eager public displays of affection.



 

Whether it be wavy, curly, or straight; most men have the thickest hair.  Not a lot of male pattern baldness or shaven heads in this city  And tobacco profits must be soaring, smoking seems to be the rule.













BA was a perfect city to start our trip.  We loved our neighborhood, the food, the architecture, the parks, the dogs, and the never ending things to do and see.  We tolerated the noise and the challenges of being a pedestrian.  Would we return?  Most definitely!  For now though we are off to Uruguay and the countryside of Argentina.  Nos vemos Buenos Aires!
