Carlos Pellegrini 877 Buenos Aires, Capital Federal District, Argentina, 1009ABQ, 11-5239-1000
First to give a little background on the situation. I was getting low on Vitamins and could not find the brand I liked. I decided to order them online and have them shipped to my home in Buenos Aires. I did check and make sure they could be shipped directly to my home vie FedEx. This all sounds rather simple, how wrong I was.<br><br><br>First the FedEx driver showed up and gave me some papers. He claimed I had to go to the airport and pick them up ...
Buenos Aires, Distrito Federal, Argentina patoddcincy... candles, jams, hats, wood carvings, etc... We didn't buy that much but we walked around for long time. It was very large. The weather was nice too. It has been steadily improving since our first day here. It started out cold and rainy and has been warming up each day since. I think today is supposed to be about 73 and tomorrow 77. Maybe I can finally get the shorts back out! Of course no one would be caught dead wearing shorts in this city - far too unfashionable! I ...
Buenos Aires, Capital Federal District, Argentina derekjjensenThis was the headline when I opened the paper yesterday morning before flying out... which i thought had a certain irony to it considering this was the very real fear I had been having over the last couple of days about what i may do myself during the flight if I took some of the stillnox on offer (not enough to stop me taking it mind you)... I just don´t think they keep an eye on the exit doors enough. Plus ...
Buenos Aires, Argentina ness010... a line dance and a guy singing karaoke. There were also food and artisan vendor stalls. Lisa bought pendant made of wood and silver, and we found some woven cotton blankets we loved, purchased directly from the artist. Finally it was time to go back into travel mode, and we took a taxi to the international airport. We had given ourselves plenty of time, but we got through the first two lines quickly with no problems ...
Buenos Aires, Argentina lisakpenning... there to represent unity and peace and are called 'Buddy Bears'. We took a few photos of the countries we have visited on this trip, although Laos, Malaysia and Singapore weren't there. We then went and chilled on the park grass for a couple of hours reading and thrashing Lorna at cards......again! It was a really nice spot to chill for the afternoon. Afterwards, we took a walk back up Av. Florida (the shopping street) towards the ...
Buenos Aires, Argentina vickersontour... dinner courtesy of Grandma eaten over pockets of idle chatter, with a little TV to finish before bed. And repeat. <br><br>However, I feel the weekends will provide greater stimulous if the last one was anything to go by. Around 60 students were bussed down to the popular Argentine holiday resort of Mar del Plata, 6 hrs south of BA, to watch one of the most exciting footballing derbys in the world: River Plate vs. Boca Juniors. It ...
Buenos Aires, Argentina deaworldwide... off to the shops the following day, clubbing in BA requires nice threads. Drag Heidi round the shops for 6 hours, mainly looking for her, but the freak out she thinks she will have for shopping for more than 2 hours, never matrialises.....good shopping here, bought some new sunnies and cheap Levis. Head off out for clubbing, dinner at 12pm, clubbing at 2am, home by 7am...its crazy here...but that´s the way ´portenos´do it (people from BA). Friday was ...
Buenos Aires, Argentina ambermcd... the temptation to browse... trust me, it was difficult. Instead, I took a few photos of some of the more interesting storefront windows I saw =) On the way home we decided we would make dinner that night so we set out to find a supermarket along the way home. Unfortunately, the first one we were directed to by random locals was a totally dirty ghetto one that was owned by Chinese people!!! LOL.. as we find out over the next few days, there are lots of tiny grocery ...
Buenos Aires, Argentina vickima... I am standing across the street taking photos of the boards and the building and Harvey crosses the street to see if the doors to the building are open. Someone comes out from another entrance and asks us to come over. He wants to know where we are from and if he could please see the photos I have taken. He asks me to delete those that show the building, but allows me to keep the ones of the boards and names. After I delete the ...
Buenos Aires, Capital Federal District, Argentina journeyerCecilia and Bryan were awoken early by the beagle scratching the door to get out. No lying in for a dog! It goes without saying that breakfast is superb, with home-made breads, jams and café con leche in abundance. We are driving back to B.A. via the pilgrimage town of Lujan. The weather is cloudy and a bit chilly. Arriving just before lunchtime, we park in the extensive plaza fronting the enormous gothic basilica of Our Lady of Lujan. Although one sees photos ...
