| Among the large and unusual tress we saw |
 |
| For scale |
 |
| Among the weirder things: this is a food truck-themed restaurant; that is, a stationary restaurant meant to replicate the food truck experience |
 |
| Really; with a functioning telephone inside |
 |
| Interesting architecture on any block, in Recoleta at least |
 |
| Much of the culture is Italian, and it is claimed that the 2nd best pizzas and gelatos in the world are in Argentina; we found this helado store to be fairly wonderful; oops, wrong side of menu; trust me, the gelatos were second only to Amorini in Paris |
 |
| Don't go to Buenos Aires to diet: this is an appetizer, which sufficed for dinner for the both of us |
 |
| The national infusion is mate', a sort of caffeine-rich tea; fill a special calabash cup with it, pour on the hot water, and drink through a special silver straw; repeat |
 |
| Up close |
 |
| Thus |
 |
| At the airport |
 |
| Not that La Madeline |
 |
| The Rio Plata, that is, the South Atlantic; we'll be seeing rather more of the Pacific on this trip |
 |
| 9AM at the security area for flights north to the tropics...these are aerosol can of bug spray confiscated from entering passengers; interestingly, we saw not one mosquito in Iguazu Falls, very much in the jungle |
 |
| Big decentralized city |
 |
| Couldn't even begin to find the "center" |
