get out of the city and into the sunshine

the loft is only about 12 blocks from the reserva ecologica costanera sur- the biggest park in buenos aires. now that spring has fully sprung, mauri and i went to explore and had a little fun in the sun (cliche overload much?? i couldn't help it)

on the walk to congreso

capital federal is full of unexpected magic, from mammoth roots to a windmill in the sky... and that's the congress building there- it looks like it was left behind by europe and forgotten for three hundred years...

home haircutting

today: breakfast in bed, mauri's first haircut in months, cleaning up puflo's crib, lounging, la loca de mierda, smores!!

OMG i was at my salsa class and mauri came to pick me up and with him was THIS ANGEL FROM BUNNY HEAVEN!!!! his name is puflo and he's cuter than your bunny.

por las calles de san telmo ya se ha perdido el candombe...

new apartment, new life here in buenos aires, where i'm now living in the barrio of san telmo. walking through san telmo is like being in a dream, or a circus, or back in time... with tango music playing in the street, you have to walk a little slower and take in the sultry, heavy air. for me, san telmo is the root of all of the sensuality of buenos aires... hopefully while i'm here a little can rub off on me~

PLUS+++ i'm back with mauri! my leading man :]

i don't know when i'll be back again

flying back to buenos aires today... actually i really LOVE flying because it gives me a chance to just be still and think, plus, can you beat that view? i don't think so!

no one's porch beats mine on a sunny summer morning~ oatmeal, tea, my neighbors and me

introducing ranger

when i travel, ranger is what i miss the most :)

the little ladies can't sit still

my sisters l.k. and tallulah on my aunt's trampoline at our family reunion last week





playing with my little sisters reminds me how blissfully fearless children are... my little sisters were born deaf and now wear a device attached to their cochlear implants. however, to jump on the trampoline, they had to take the device off, so they couldn't hear. i was SO nervous that they would get hurt, but they taught me that it's way more fun to fall, get up, and look cute doing it!

reel around the fountain

some nights the heat from the city, the summer, and the wine can only be calmed by doing something a little crazy! i recently joined my big sister for the last leg of her east-coast road trip, and after dinner on Boston Harbor, the mood was perfect for a run through this fountain. thanks to my sister's roommate krista for joining me!
