Aside from a little tension stemming from the fact that I know all the songs from a certain Andrew Lloyd Webber show that takes place in Buenos Aires and like to sing them, well, every waking moment we’re here, Buenos Aires is wonderful. 
It is summer here. Long walks, sundresses, strappy sandals, and al fresco dining are a fun and easy way to forget the fact that back in the cold North, there is a half-moved-in, cluttered up, drafty old house that we just up and left. I feel like the luckiest girl for this brief respite.
(If you don’t understand the allusion in the title of this post, you should watch this and enjoy 1) how catchy the song is and 2) how Madonna didn’t butcher the role of Eva Perón as we all feared but instead was AWESOME.) 
Being here has been a much-needed source of inspiration in a lot of ways. Probably most obviously, I’ve got some ideas for Yellow House riffs on porteño food. Look out for something sweet and something savory when I return.
I owe Nicole a big thank you for the extensive BA travel guide she produced for me upon demand, complete with food destinations, local slang, and best places to people-watch. Thanks a bunch, Miss Nicole.
love all the color!!!!
so glad your having a nice time and that some of my recommendations could come of help. So envious right now I can almost smell the air when I would step foot inside the old buildings. sigh its been to long. I miss my city :) Enjoy the warm weather, flip flops and cold beer, its freezing balls here :) haha
Such beautiful color! Buffalo is looking very sad and gray these days.
love the pictures, especially Waldo :) I wish I was there with you. one day I’ll make it down there!
Thank you for the splash of colour, Sarah. It is so, so drab in Chicago today. I really needed this. Happy travels :)
You left just in time to avoid the cold COLD weather front! Gorgeous pictures!
How lovely! I am so glad you’re there (respite, indeed). And so jealous :-)
And of course I will be singing that song for the rest of the day. Certain people in my life may want to have WORDS with you. Because you’re right, Madonna WAS awesome. Such a good surprise.
Enjoy!
Got chills looking through these! Thank you for posting them ~ i can’t wait to see more! You’re such a talented photographer, too!
Aveces estoy celoso de la manera en que ves el mundo.
Hi again. I left you a note in one of your last posts but I hadn´t seen this one. So glad you enjoyed this city. By the way, you´re not alone, I know every song of that musical too. No comments. That´s the phrase we use here when whatever you say or do speaks for itself due to it´s embarrasing and/or ridiculous (in a good way) factor. Love the pictures you took. You captured the right little details.
So glad you think so :) Jealous that you’re a BA native, Paula!
What beautiful pictures! They’re making me nostalgic of my time in Buenos Aires. Hope you ate lots of empanadas, medialunas, and alfajores!
What's this?
