Glimpses of Last Week

Here are a few random photos from the past week which did not get into earlier postings:

Wally spots our Benz in a San Telmo antique shop window. It's one-sixth of the regular size but would hold an adult driver, and it has a gas motor in the back.

A group of students in smart uniforms by Casa Rosada.  School children all wear uniforms here.

The cartoneros demonstrate near Plaza de Mayo. These are the people who salvage cardboard for recycling to earn a living. Some cartoneros were businessmen who lost their livelihood due to the economic crisis in Argentina in 2001.

The zoo is closed due to labor issues but we peeked through the fence. Wally thinks it's a wallaby, and he should know!

Pink flamingos - another glimpse through the fence of the zoo.

A second visit to the Museum of Fine Arts, this time to the second floor which showed Argentine Art reflected against the political landscape of Argentina. Great stuff!

Works by Berni were fascinating

I liked this work, not sure of the artist.

This reminded us of some of Colville's art

Enjoying yet another coffee outside at the Delicious Cafe (thanks for the tip, Tara)

Art Installation along the street

An early birthday treat and toast for Wally, courtesy of David during our second visit to the restaurant  Melo.
