puerto madero and the veldt
these giant tonka toy cranes are right near our house, our cobblestone neighborhood and the tango dancers and ancient markets. gigantic cranes in puerto madero. las gruas. and if you walk another 3 minutes east, you get to the biological conservation park that is somewhat like an african plain, and somewhat like a tropical jungle. the air changes from being that of a busy deisel-fumed street to a walk in what this place mustve been like when the conquisatdors first came here, looking for silver... the 4th pic is of ms s standing on avenida achabal rodriguez, looking north. our feeling was that along this promenade, you should be at the edge of a river in europe, the vltava or the siene or the elbe should be there, but instead its this expanse of lush green grass and bizarre calls of native birds. to your left is the city, in all its modernity. and all along the promenade are stalls selling POUNDS of meat on the grill. its a bbq anytime you want it here. ms s observed that given the size of a sandwich here, and given the size of a big mac in the states, these folks should be gigantic. but theyre not. in fact, obesity seems to be almost non-existant down here. this last is a snap of their crazy pedestrian bridge, another symbol of BA. all of this is within a 25 minute walk from our front door.
