Buenos Aires

I found some photos from my trip to Buenos Aires last year. It had been almost ten years since we had left Argentina. Parts of the city were hardly recognizable.

El Puente de la Mujer (Women's Bridge), by Santiago Calatrava (famous Spanish Architect). It's in Puerto Madero, the old port of the city.

Puerto Madero used to be nothing but crumbling old buildings when I left ten years ago. It's now the richest area in the city. They have soldiers patrolling the area all the time, so it's one of the few places places in the city with no crime.

Congreso. I used to live a few blocks from this place.


Most people in Argentina are of Spanish or Italian ancestry, but there is a huge Jewish community as well. Here's a McKosher in the Abasto neighborhood.
