caminito

caminito in la boca is one of the oldest parts of buenos aires. the area is known as the birthplace of tango and became home to many italian immigrants in the early 1900s. many of the italians who lived there, worked at la boca's port, and brought their tradition of painting the outside of their homes with leftover paint from the shipyard. now the homes on caminito have been repainted for tourists like me to photograph all the lovely colors...

el calafate

one of the coolest parts of our trip to argentina was flying down to el calafate in the patagonia. we got to not only see the perito moreno glacier (!!!) but also walk on it! i have to admit i'm not exactly the most outdoorsy kind of girl so i was a bit nervous about the trek, but i knew i couldn't leave without doing it. the experience was completely unique and the view unlike anything else i've ever seen before.

la recoleta

one of the places i visited during my stay in buenos aires was la recoleta cemetery. the cemetery is famous for the influential argentinians (including evita) buried there, as well as for its over-the-top, luxurious tombs. although it felt a bit creepy to be walking around dead people, there were tons of beautiful details...

hi friends! i'm back from my trip to argentina! i took the redeye sunday night and got into nyc monday morning at 6am so i was pretty much a zombie all day at work. aside from the plane ride back (really long and i couldn't sleep at all), the trip was amazing! for now, i leave you with some pictures from the plaza san telmo antiques market i went to in buenos aires.

i can't wait to show you more pictures from my travels! hope you're all having a good week so far.

packing my bags...

and headed to ARGENTINA!!! i'll be traveling with my family and needless to say i am beyond excited. we'll be spending some time in buenos aires and el calafate (to see the icebergs!) posting will be a bit slow here over the next week but i hope you all have a lovely long, easter weekend!

i can't wait to share my adventures with you when i get back (i plan on taking millions of pictures!) xo
