ARGENTINA

(week four)

"It's not a vacation, 
it's a lifestyle"

Post #47

March 9, 2019

BUENOS AIRES, 
ARGENTINA

Casa Rosada
The Pink House
Executive Mansion and Argentina House of Government 
(it's pink because there was debate about 
weather to have it white or red, 
so they chose pink to satisfy everyone)

 contrasting architecture just across the canal
are high rise condos

connecting all this beautiful architecture

on either side of the canal

is Puente de la Mujer

(Woman's Bridge)

the inspiration and design of

Santiago Calatrava

Calatrava also designed the new

Westfield World Trade Center Mall in NYC

called Oculus
(if you haven't seen it, I suggest you Google it)


*

Abasto Shopping Mall
near our apartment

inside the mall is this, ever so cute,

Küsta Hair Salon

it's a two chair salon in a mini-trailer

Ceiling of the Buenos Aires train station
Estación Retiro-Mitre

The stunning architecture of Buenos Aires

goes on, and on, and on with

European influence

*

Carnival
is not as elaborate in BsAs,
as it is in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil,
but there are shades of influence throughout the city
on the weekends of March

*

Although this street vendor selling 

Ostrich Feather Dusters

is not Carnival,

we think it almost compares

*

Here are a couple examples of

Public Art

as seen throughout the city

*

This is not street art,

but rather the name of a clothing store that we 

COULD NOT RESIST

photographing since we were both born in

1947

*

Oh No!

what's wrong with this picture

Well the food was good, anyway.
