Sunday photoblogging, sick of the news edition

yesterday, a friend and i took a late breakfast at the SECOND oldest cafe in buenos aires, las violetas... a photo of the goodies we sampled and the cafe itself below...

following that, we visited parque rivadavia and its book fair, both great spots for people watching...

on the way back home, i stopped at estación lavalle, on línea "c" of the subte (subway) to snap a photo of one of the wonderful murals that decorate many subte stations in buenos aires... the photo below depicts buenos aires as it appeared back in the early 1800s...
