Early autumn in the city

More weekends of leisure, discovering the city with visitors and eating far, far too much meat. Mataderos folkloric craft fair
Beautiful San Telmo houses
San Telmo by night
The smallest house in Buenos Aires
More tango Clint Eastwood impressions

Another small portion of beef for one

A touch of salt Breakfast the morning after
Followed by afternoon chocolate cake and Mate
A drink in San Telmo with the chess playing old men
One of the many dog walkers
Not so cultural or typical Buenos Aires, anonymous at Hooters

Mendoza Take Two- autumn sunshine and more wine

After spending the last month locked up, ploughing through translation after translation about the sewage network of Buenos Aires, among other thrilling topics, we decide to pop back to Mendoza for a well deserved autumn break, taking advantage of our recently arrived, university friend's wine knowledge. I actually cannot take credit for any of the following photos as I forgot my camera and these are all Anthony's. Idyllic posada where we stayed just outside the city of Mendoza.
The wine tasting begins ...

A few bottles of wine and steaks later...... back to the giant Buenos Aires.
