Ground Floor

Avenida Teodora Garcia

Belgrano

Buenos Aires

Planta Baja.

Ground floor, looking into the little lift that takes me up to the second floor where i live in the apartment with Beba.

A nice spot with wide streets and lots of trees.

I went to Colonia, Uruguay on Friday.

Time to renew my tourist visa.

Pleased to say they let me out and back in again!

Another 90 days up my sleeve.

Uruguay is an hour trip across the Rio de la Plata, a vast sepia coloured river that seems as big as an ocean.

Colonia was divine, the weather was warm, mosquitoes friendly, the food horribly expensive. (bit of a tourist trap)

I hadn't realised how tranquil it was wandering the streets until i got back to Buenos Aires and walked out of the Port onto one of the main hurtling avenues. Was a bit of a shock after the calm of Colonia. Next time i will go for the three hour trip to Montevideo, and try that one on for size.
