Streets of Buenos Aires
Buenos Aires is a beautiful city with an endless supply of things to see and do. Walking the streets you really get a feel for this perfectly livable city. There are plenty of green spaces to enjoy and take you away from the apartment life.
One of my favorite authors set a whole series of novels in Argentina with Buenos Aires as a focal point. I always thought it was an intriguing city. It's also called the Paris of South America, right? This shot looks rather like some streets in Paris.
I was visiting Buenos Aires when the revolution took place in Dec. 2001? My hotel was at Avenida de Mayo, the 'epicenter' of the events and I had to move to a room in the back because of the bullets on the window. It seems it would never end. Fortunatelly I managed to leave Buenos Aires the next day and then I realized how destroyed the city was when I left the hotel to the airport which, gladly, was working!

It would seem that there are plenty of apartments to choose from. Some must have a splendid view of the city.
A word of caution is to watch out to make sure that you are not following in the footsteps of a dog with a thoughtless escort.
