some
of

increible!
 

bit of a party at the Dutch Embassy

Dutch Embassy
Buenos Aires
April 2013

Some of the members
of the Eloisa Cartonera
 after a pleasant
little evening quaffing
wine and beers and
nibbles and more
wine and nibbles
and dessert, three
varieties.
They won the Prince Claus Award last year and this was a bit of a 'do' for the locals who didn't make it over to The Netherlands to pick up the goodies.

la/el? internacional feria del libros

The International book Fair.
Buenos Aires
April 2013

The Eloisa Cartonera were
invited to hold workshops
at this HUGE event.
i can't remember how
many pavillions there were,
but there were queues of
people thronging every day
at the gates.
I was one of the workers
covered in paint helping
the kids decorate their books. This little chica was very cute and we had a blast teaching each other different words in our different languages. I was blown away with some of the kids painting, and others, well, cool gooey messes.

Killing time in Santiago Airport

Mendoza, Argentina.

I found this nice guy in a park
beside all the official type
buildings.
I think all famous
heads should be
subjected to this
  sort of make-over.

desayuno con Madelene

Breakfast in the sun with
Madelene. A cute little
cafe just around the 
corner from home.
I live in a neighbourhood
that has lots of 
beautiful old old
trees, and usually a
cafe, a grocery story, a
laundry, or vege store
on every corner.
no zoning of residential
and comerical here.
it's all thrown in
together.
Handy!
