Another scene on the streets of Buenos Aires.

A handful of people enjoy some food and music while watching a young couple tango under the blue umbrella.

Jodi-

Buenos Aires sounds like such a fun place Jodi.

Did you have a good time??

I think we need to MOW!!

Jasdip, oh my gosh, we had the best time in Buenos Aires. I traveled there with a gal who had already been there four times, so knew her way around. The city is broken up into some pretty distinct areas. I'm happy you are enjoying the street scenes.

The shopping was great. I bought two pairs of boots that I wear all the time plus all kinds of other goodies. Ever seen a Yerba Mate cup? I bought two of those. Mate is the national hot beverage in Argentina and you carry your own personal mate cup wherever you go. You can get just plain hot water on the streets to refresh your mate.

The cups are usually made out of gourds and decorated on the outside with paint, metal, jewels, you name it. The insides are left natural. You use a metal straw with one end that looks like a sieve. It's designed to keep the loose yerba mate leaves in the cup while you drink.

This is a cup that belongs to a gal who had us over for dinner one night. I'll take photos of the cups I bought and post some day.

Spring at my house. Got an inch or 2.

great photos! Very interesting, Jodi!
Oldgardner, nothing but sunshine down here! 55+ miles away!
it sure looks pretty!

Jodi...I used to work with a guy that carried one of those litle tiny cups around with the silver straw. lol I'm guessing he put coffee in it. lol

I don't know how anyone can get any satisfaction drinking from such a small cup. I go through a 24 ounce beverage tumbler every two hours. And even then it annoys me to have to get up and refill it. The mate cup is so small it would be gone in three sips. And then there's the taste of Yerba Mate ... ewwww

I want a peacock! (yes, I know what they sound like LOL)
