On my way to school, I pass by Plaza de Mayo and that's the big statue on the far left. The water is a little port in the neighborhood of Recoleta. This building is in Plaza de Mayo and I believe someone important lives there. I want to say that it's the governor's house or president's house, but since I don't know, it can be Cookie Monster's house. Check out the police car. Ready to go to shoot down protestors when needed.




Cute little kids playing the accordions and singing.











On the left is a kid playing on the porch in the neighborhood of San Telmo. Above is the street I live in called, Lavalle and pronounced la-bah-shay. I have more pictures of San Telmo and La Boca which are really cool places. Sooner than later. Ciao.

Lavalle= lah-bah-shay? I think that's what I'll name our next child. How does that pronunciation even make sense? Kind of like Budapest is pronounced Buda-pesht. Just some trivia for you...

Scott, what's up!(?) Good to see this update. was blurking around and found you linked to someone's blog. That school sounds great. Don't you just want to go school the rest of your life?! I do. I want pass on that kind of love for learning. Or if it can't be taught, then foster an environment where it can be engendered. Enjoy the southern hemisphere and its different stars. maybe we could catch up sometime...
