Today In Buenos Aires

I did a little grocery shopping, and some laundry.  Then I walked around for a few hours.  I found China Town.  I like China Town.  Then I wandered some more, and found the Buenos Aires Skate Park, sponsored by Converse.  It made me miss my skateboard.

One time I brought my skateboard with me to Paris.  I spent one night in Paris before taking a train to the Atlantic coast to live in a tent for the summer.  I skated around, but the city wasn't great for cruising with cobblestone streets and such.  I was wearing a sundress, and got some interesting stares.  Anyway, under the Eiffel Tower was pretty smooth so I had a good time there for a little bit.

I got a little lost, walked by a park with a lake and saw a bunch of people on their afternoon jogs.  There was an elderly couple taking a walk, arms linked, talking and laughing and looking as though they were 20 years old and in love.

Cities are great when they feel like they are alive on their own.  This is one of those places.  It has a pulse and a soul.

I didn't bring my camera, because I'm like that.
