La Choza

My quest to find the perfect milk and yogurt in Buenos Aires is over; La Choza has it hands down. Thick, natural yogurt and delicious full cream milk, and when paired with some organic granola it makes my weekday breakfasts a breeze. 

I get my La Choza fix at El Galpon organic/hippie market in Chacarita, open Wednesdays and Saturdays.

Cine Premier

The delightfully vintage Cine Premier at number 1565 Avenida Corrientes, was the perfect place to see Oscar-winning film The Artist.  Only a handfull of people, a black and white silent movie and the faint sound of the film reel projecting its image onto the big screen. Cinema heaven.

Colour and Chaos

Chaotic, old, dirty, colourful, vibrant... the city of Buenos Aires always has something to you show.

Punta del Diablo

Punta del Diablo is a small fishing/surf village on the coast of Uruguay, close to the Brazilian border. We recently rented a small faded-yellow cabin and took advantage of the lovely April weather with lots of swimming, relaxing, reading, exploring and eating.

The Architecture of Montevideo (again!)

 

A recent trip to Uruguay has reignited my love of the architecture in the Ciudad Vieja of Montevideo. Such a unique experience to walk around the gothic, run-down streets on a Saturday when it is completely void of life. It's like a trip back in time.

On the Street, Uruguay

In the Ciudad Viejo or old city of Montevideo was this artwork depicting Candombe musicians, a traditional Uruguayan rhythm of African descent.

Pasaje General Paz

Walking along the street Ciudad de la Paz today to get to my doctors appointment, this building blew me away. Imagine living here and walking through this amazing arch every day!

I found a couple of photos that show it off a little better, from a blog in Spanish called Palo Architecture. There are some great photos from the suburb of Colegiales, so take a look!
