27 Feb 2012 - Buenos Aires - starting to say Ciao!


Las Cardones - a typical 'pena' gaucho pub, across the street from my apartment. Raul Palma and his band gave an unforgettable performance of 'Folklorico' to a packed house. Squeezing room only, even at the back of the place near the bar.


Entry door to a city edifice - a slip of paper suggested to 'press the button' to gain entrance


Tourist souvenirs made of the national gem stone, Rodocrosita.



Paula y Orlando - my favourite tango maestros.




Villa 32, a slum behind Retiro Railway Station.




Silversmithing, artesan weaving, leather trinkets....



The national obsession with 'colas' - enhanced Samba Bums.



Wall painting in Palermo.



Guard dog in Palermo Soho



Funky Buenos Aires mural...


Almost the last day here in Buenos Aires....but, with luck one may return again.
