You have gotten so much better at holding the camera steady and panning slowly! I love the window you provide into the Paris of the South and los portenos! May Javier's experiment be successful! Excuse the tilde over the n - I don't remember how to make my keyboard speak Spanish.

Always enjoy the videos you take from around Buenos Aires , even if they make me green with envy. People out and in the streets! Amazing what a touch of civilization can do. Best to you and yours.

Joel, the video was peacefull, thanks. Today, now, and over the past 10 months he and the people have accomplished much in their country. When there is Free markets, Free minds , and Free people the opposition has a much higher mountain to climb. Oh, and the world of people are watching and silently praying it continues to work.

The expression that " It takes two to tango " has crossed the borders of the Rio de la Plata and you hear it all over the world including expressed by people who are not quite sure what " tango "really means . There is a little booklet with the words of most of the better known tangos . Whoever is interested in dwelling into the souls of the Argentina , NOTHING describes it better than studying the words of say the 15/20 most popular tangos .It will save you reading 5 books written by various psychologists ,sociologists ,psicoanalists and many politicians .

Your video makes me miss San Telmo. It looks to me to have been made in Plaza Dorrego, not Plaza Defensa. Keep up the good work please.

Yes! I aways get those two mixed up, which occasionally makes for confused wanderings… especially after a long lunch at La Brigada. Thanks for the kind words. Cheers!

The word is millennium, not millennia. Millennia is the plural of millennium.

Right you are. See my reply to another dear reader who noticed the same, above. Cheers!

In the end, people will keep on living, loving, having picnics, and enjoying life, whoever's boot is on their neck. But if they had their way, there would be no boot. And slowly, but surely, Javier is seeing to that.

So it goes.
