mi bici......my bike

This is my bike. Well my loaned bike
from Gustavo, a student from
last year.
The pic was taken during
that fateful adventure.
Now, however, i hoon
around the mad streets of
Buenos Aires, looking
both ways, side ways and
nowdays, up.
Last week i got poo-ed on
by an anonymous bird.
It hit me heavily and warmly
with some degree of splatter.
'Its is lucky,' everyone
said. I'm not sure of the
size of the bird, but judging
by the remains, i'm sure it must have been a pterodactyl.
It's quite lovely biking around the wide tree laned streets with my picnic lunch and a book, exploring the city and dodging the traffic. I have set myself the task of photographing lots of graffiti art that populates and invigorates the neighborhoods. Yesterday i got lost in Chacarita, a huge sprawling cemetery, and was fearful of not getting out before closing time and having to spend the night locked in with all the spooks. Got out just in time to be caught in the middle of a Tormenta! A big kick-arse storm they have here. Totally soaking wet in a matter of minutes. Fabulous!
