Photo

Ah hah. Now we're talking.

OK. Here we have some photos of our barrio, San Telmo. It's an older barrio with low buildings and narrow streets so feels quieter and less loco than the city.

All these photos are our street, Estados Unidos. It's part cute, old, sort of European feeling and part Russian- sorry we've no money for the upkeep- decay. Not to mention Argentine sorry we can't be bothered washing off the graffiti.


The photo down the bottom is the view from our kitchen window over the local slums and faded mansions. The white building is our top floor neighbour, currently an American family. The apartment also came with free (yay!) visits from the landlords cat and two kittens which got Karl (the slut) very excited but I have banned them so now we just have plaintive meows from out side the door and clearly ill-fated attempts to get in through kitchen windows that I have very carefully opened to be just too small to for a cat.

And as i was at the kitchen window the other morning making breakfast i saw a hummingbird! Had never seen one before, he came and fed off the flowers just outside the window, muy muy genial.
