Foto día 1


Well its photo day and gonna hafta start with a picture of Justice Ginsburg. This was her at the Jeff Lehman´s inauguration (whatever happened to him?). I remember being quite far from the podium and never noticed the sweet top hat. Props to having some flair your Honor!













So here are a few pictures I´ve taken so far here.






These pictures were taken at some cool park with tons of graffiti. It didn´t seem to be an organized event, but rather just a bunch of random guys with drums, drumming along and having a good time. They even posed for me, it was nice.








The next set of photos were taken in Montserrat, a part of town close to the center but very laid back. Che promotes the use of condoms... maybe thats why republicans hate them so much.


Here are a few pictures in front of the Casa Rosada. Its pink cuz of ox blood. Mmmm. I like that sculpture, methinks it Baroque.















Finally, these are pictures of madres de los desaparecidos, whose children (mostly related to the universities like the UBA as well as political opponents) were taken away, tortured and killed. They gather together every Thursday at the Plaza de Mayo to protest the event. They´re all about the same age and are supposedly anti-American (rumor has it we installed the dictatorship that executed this event, and its probably true). They are very political and spoke of how the new government is nullifying the immunity of officers who carried out the killings. They also seem to be very very socialist, probably like their children were.

Thats all folks... I wish the formatting could be a little better. I´ll work on that in the future.
