Avenida 9 de Julio, Buenos Aires



 
The main drag of a city of 13 million. Crossing this avenue is an adventure every time. Six lanes each way on the main thoroughfare, and three lanes tagged onto the side of each direction. Its Mad!
The big erection in the middle, is the Obelisk, it comemorates a number of important milestones in the history of Argentina. One of my workplaces is just along the avenue at the bottom left.
So, obviously, I'm in Capital Federal, as the locals call it, and have just finished by second full week of being a Profesora Inglesa. The English teacher to business people in four different locations.
It's been mad, crazy and cool. I hit the ground running, and am just starting to catch my breath.
I've mislaid my wi-fi connection on my notebook, but am hoping one of my clients, Rodolfo the IT guy, will come to my aid and re-do the thingy, so i can load pics of Rosario and La Banda, two places on my way here.
