emerging markets - part 3

argentinian humor?

these purple blossoms were everywhere.

san juan! freaky. at the museo nacional de bellas artes.

and yes, i had to check out evita's mausoleum at la recoleta cemetary.

puente de la mujer. apparently it's quite an engineering feat - it's supported only on one side and it connects the main part of buenos aires with a developing neighborhood.

click on this photo and you'll see why this was my favorite internet cafe.

paris hilton's legacy in buenos aires.

the same bridge at night.

virtually every park was teeming with stray animals. i particularly liked these enormous cats. the funniest part was that a kid came around this park with a cat in a giant clear plastic bag, apparently attempting to drop the cat off at the park. that is, until a police man saw him and shouted, "hey, what do you think you're doing with that cat?!"

um...yeah. i wish i could say this was the only time i saw a doll like this. anyway, this was at the big touristy san telmo antique market on sunday.

...and here is courtney love's antique stand, apparently.
