Basilica Espíritu Santo
Walking through Palermo's charming Plaza Güemes, on the way to a lunch meeting, we couldn't help but take a peek inside the imposing Basilica Espíritu Santo.
For 91 Days we lived in Buenos Aires. The capital of Argentina, and the home of tango, this is one of the world’s most vibrant cities, and we had an incredible time getting to know its culture, cuisine and people. Three months was hardly enough to properly explore all the neighborhoods, from San Telmo to Palermo, but we tried our best!
Whether you're planning your own journey to Buenos Aires, or just interested in seeing what makes it such a special city, our articles and photographs should help you out.

Bakano – Our Pizza Addiction Threatens to Destroy Us
During a recent excursion into Palermo Hollywood, I began to feel faint. Taking a seat on the curb, I went through a mental checklist; I'd had plenty of water, a hearty breakfast and a good night of sleep. But something was off... and suddenly I realized. I hadn't eaten pizza in nearly 4 hours.
The National Museum of Fine Arts
We confidently strode up the stairs of an impressive neoclassical building, convinced that it was the Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes. Passing between the massive gray Doric columns, a guard brusquely informed us that we were actually at the University's Law School. He shoved us off toward a nearby clump of dark red clay, which had been been molded into the form of a building.
Photographing while Traveling: Instant Inspiration
Compared to a lot of photographers I know, I have it pretty easy. Visiting so many new places all the time means I never have to sit around, waiting for inspiration. When you're in a new location and everything is novel to your eyes, finding interesting things to photograph is a piece of cake!
Floralis Genérica
I can count on exactly one finger the number of times I've stood before a flower sculpture and thought to myself, "Now that is really fucking cool".
The Depto: A Temporary Home Away from Home
We wrote about the San Telmo Loft in a previous post, but we also wanted to highlight another apartment which Angela and John offer, for vacations or short term rentals. The Depto, on Calle Defensa.
Caballito – The Middle of the City
The geographic center of Buenos Aires is Caballito, a charming neighborhood with large green spaces, and well served by the Subte. Although it's not on the top of the normal tourist itinerary, this barrio has enough highlights to make it worth a trip.
