Sunday photoblogging on Tuesday (special for mettle)

i was un-jetlagged enough on sunday to happily accept an invite from friends to meet them in plaza de mayo for a walk down calle defensa through the sunday market vendors and swarming turistas... we shared some great appetizer trays at a patagonian restaurant off the main drag and, all in all, had a great time...

the top photo below was taken in one of the cars of the first buenos aires subway line... note the tulip light fixtures and the polished wood seats and interior... the second is of a famous church and museum on defensa just off the plaza de mayo...
