Beautiful place. The new president will restore a great country to its rightful status. Another 4 years of democrats in America and the exodus to Argentina starts.

Just a short note: it is pied-à-terre. Terre = ground. Like in foothold on the ground.

So funny to see that you liked my suggestion of gift subscriptions. That must be a very smooth street as your video is super smooth! Beautiful ride - thank you for a look at peaceful people this Sunday.

I keep waiting to see blood in the streets. But instead, it's so nice and...peaceful. I need to make my way there!

How you managed to find such an island of calm, peace, serenity and beauty in the midst of all Sr. Milei's anarchy, chaos and mayhem boggles my mind. ;-)

Thanks for sharing the lovely video!

Do I detect a note of sarcasm? 😉

Why is that things seem to always have to get unbearable before they change? People seem to put up with more and more irritation and stupidity before change is demanded. When change is finally made and things begin to right themselves, they wonder why they waitied so long to "throw the bums out". America is on the verge of debt collapse and everyone seems to know it is coming (just not when). A yet Congress and the president and even the Supreme Court seem unable to change course.

Ten people need to die at an intersection before the signal is installed.

There is a tendency to stay the course even if it leads to disaster. Why is that?

Argentina has been down the default road several times and was unable to make the changes needed to avoid disaster....over and over. This time will be different? Or will it? Argentina is worth saving. The U.S. needs to change course and bring debt under control. But, just like Argentina, the powers that be seem not to care or feel they are immune to disaster.

Well, debt DOES MATTER. It matters a lot.

Every politician has a plan to make everyone and everything prosperous and well again...by spending ever more and more. A program for this and that ad infinitum. It is unsustainable.

We can and must recognize the danger and change course.

Trump and Biden both have plans...to spend more.

WTF?

Powell will just print up more money and create more debt.

Money is not the problem. Stupidity is the problem. Cowardice is the problem.

We need a man with a chainsaw in America just like Milei.

Many will say it can't be done.

I say it must be done.

And soon.

Like, now!

I was wondering that too, as it seems to be a regular road. I figured they closed it down for that day.

I once walked from Puerto Madero to the yacht club and almost never left green space.

It's a living hell down there Joel! We had better send in a chopper for a clandestine evacuation immediately!

I imagined masses of former government employees bring the streets to a standstill with massive protests. I suppose there'd be a complete lack of support from their fellow citizens.

The too large and costly government and the collapsing peso don't seem to be stalling construction or consumer consumption.

Better show us some seedy consequences of too many people in Argentina's public trough.

Lots of young and old ambling through a lovely park on a pleasant day while, in the background, a jumbo jet takes off for someplace distant suggests all's well in the Argentine

WOW you have become the master videographer. It looks so peaceful there. Is there another side of this city we should know about? Or is this truly heaven on earth……
