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!

waiters wait...

El Mercardo

Montevideo

Uruguay.

This market is situated by the

port in Montevideo.

It is an old

iron super structure

 to be used as a railway

station. English in

design and construction,

it was sent by boat

aiming for Chile.

It got as far as

Montevideo...and

got waylaid.

So now, it is a big

market full of bars and

restaurants that cater to the most hardcore carnivours out.
