Recoleta

Posted by Picasa

Recoleta Cemetery is full of abandoned cats. This particular cat took a liking to us and, as we looked around and took pictures, led us around, looking behind to make sure we were following. So, our motto at the Cemetery for part of the day was, "Follow the cat".

La Biela

One of the things I absolutely loved about Buenos Aires was the cafe culture.
Tom and I spent hours in various cafes, watching people, talking, eating and drinking.
It sometimes made me feel, for a moment, a part of the city instead of a tourist who didn't know how or what to order.
Te, cafe con leche, medialunas, tortas, agua con gas...
