San Telmo, finally an entire post

Lots has been going on with us. I'm still working on my spanish web site, Online Spanish Help. So go check it out, please! Also, we're planning a trip up to Lima. Hopefully all that will happen well. Mostly both of us have just been working from home and not really doing too much aside from that. However, recently I realized that I've never made an entire post about San Telmo. Considering that we've now had two apartments here and even when were living in Colegiales we still spent quite a bit of time here, I figure I should make a post about it.

This is Defense on a typical Sunday. They close off the street to cars and tourists from all over gather here to buy over-price antiques and crafts. We live on this street but pretty far from where this picture was taken.


This is the park across the street from us. The Nation Museum is also in this park. It's very nice and always lively.


This is a crazy Russian Orthodox church near us. I think it looks more like it belongs in Disney World than San Telmo but it's here either way.


And finally this is the center of San Telmo, Plaza Dorrego. Some of the pictures from my birthday were taken here. During the night it fills up with tables from the near-by restaurants and also tourists pathetically trying to learn tango. So far Antonia and I have resisted. On Sunday this is the prime spot for the over-priced antiques.
