Buenos Aires


Another first for me, a card from Argentina.  The message tells me that although this looks like an old photo but that's the way the avenue looks today.  It's full of theatres and bookstores.  Sounds good!

The obelisk is one of the main icons of Buenos Aires, and was built to mark the 400 year anniversary of the founding of the city.  In 2005, to commemorate World aids Day, it was covered in a giant condom.
