I just love l these old un-photoshopped glamour magazines! All for sale if you would want them, in San Telmo, but I prefer them all together on a photo like this…

Continue reading →: Captain Jack is here!
From far he looked exactly like him, but from close (and on this picture) you can clearly see he does not look like him at all. I suppose there can only be one real Jack Sparrow! This one misses the naughty, funny, cute look in his eyes, that makes him…

Continue reading →: A drunken stick
The Palo Borracho’s (drunken sticks) are all blooming now. This Ceiba Speciosa is a tropical tree native to South America and often seen in the streets of Buenos Aires. Just like the Jacarandas announce the beginning of spring, the Silk Floss tree, as it is also called, announces autumn. It…

One of my favorite places to go and take pictures -and probably most photogenic one- in Buenos Aires -Cemetery of Recoleta.

Continue reading →: Visitors from hell (says the mom)
Extended weekends, too much homework and a too demanding family have been keeping me from writing. I thought I –and my daughter A as well- were way too old for this. I remember it as if it was just yesterday, the first time my daughter came home with a letter…

Isn’t Starbucks –probably together with McDonald- one of those typical American icons? To me Starbucks was so American that I wouldn’t even consider going to one outside of the US. It’s like eating French fries (in case you don’t know, they are Belgian) in other countries and expect them to…
