Buenos Aires - second stint

We were very pleased to get back to the big smoke...
...and the comfort of Emily´s home and company (Megan the labrador too).
Then spent a few days enjoying the sights and activities of Bs As :
Art galleries...

Enjoying the parks and warm weather...

Meeting up with friends made during previous trip to Bs As, many of whom are also themselves "foreigners"... Fabian Barramendi from Uruguay :
Haydee Buscaglione from Chile:
German Jara from Chile. (We had spent an night at his parents home in Temuco.
Wandering the streets of Palermo, Puerto Madero, Ricoleta and Caballito...
Visiting the spectacular open air markets of San Telmo...

Taking in a fancy tango show...
Looking for new shoes...
Falling asleep on the way home...
We spent the Birthday of the Bab, the 20th October visiting the grave of May Maxwell, a famous Baha`i.
On the 24th October, Emily and her friend (and fine porteño) Ezequiel did the 10km world wide "human race".  Hero was inspired to do lots of running herself...
We came across a very interesting Baha´i inspired NGO called UNIDA which runs a lot of community development related training programs.
We finished off with a meal with Emily in a parilla down the road from her place.   ¿Does this pair of dogs remind you of anyone? (hint : think Mr n Mrs Olam)
