We've decided to take a trip to Buenos Aires, as it's been many years since I've been here and my wife has never been.

I'm sitting in the Plaza de Mayo, infront of La Casa Rosada. La Casa Rosada in the executive mansion, even though the President of Argentina normally lives elsewhere.

I've forgotten how much I enjoy Buenos Aires, a beautiful and vibrant city.


The following are just some photos of some of the architecture.

After an unusually long journey (I already thought it had gone missing somewhere over the Atlantic) my vintage Gramercy linen newsboy finally arrived.

It'd better be summer soon!

Looks nice, I'm glad that it worked out in the end! :yo:

Looks like a wonderful trip, thanks for sharing the photos! :yo:

Merci!

Lovely shots, reminded me of my childhood back in Buenos Aires before my folks moved to Ecuador.

Great photos, Jeff. We were at Portland light about 2 years ago when we visited a friend up there. Very nice town.

Thanks for the B. A. photos BR. Unfortunately, our photos taken there were lost when my wife's camera was stolen. Did you do some Tango while there?

There were two auctions that I was interested in today.

I thought for SURE $120 bid would be enough for this 7 7/8 952 block....but NOPE....lost that one. Its a shame too. Those 52/952 blocks almost never come up in huge sizes like that. Kind of upset about it.

Block Size 7 7/8 952

But then I won this beautiful Milan and it put me in a good mood again..

Its was originally sold at the Pantke-Harpke Co store and every other Milan or Panama straw that I've seen from that store has been excellent quality, so I'm hoping this one is no different. I'm not really a fan of telescope crowns, so if the crown is as tall open as I think it is, I will be re-blocking it with one of my 52 blocks.

It seems you put this post in the wrong thread ...

I've never done that before. :eusa_doh:

I guess I was still excited from the auction. Being moved now. Thanks for the heads-up Zetwal.

very nice!! Look forward to seeing some close-ups of this one when it comes down... I have a feeling it feels good on.

That sort of behavior is creepy as well as infuriating ... :mad2:

 

[Mario]

It does!

I just wanted to take a few more detailed photos of the cap but both sets of batteries turned out be empty and recharging them will take a couple of hours. Tomorrow, then...

I like the photo. Classic!

Especially the technique. Stolen out of her backpack while looking at items in a flea market. Very smooth...
