Two photos
Mafalda in San Telmo, originally uploaded by blmurch.
I took a couple of photos today and though I'd share. The first one is of the cartoon character, Mafalda. She's a bit like Charlie Brown - but here in her statue, she's smiling. Her mother makes her eat soup she doesn't like - it's the running joke, much like Charlie Brown's football. She's been placed on this corner of Chile and Defensa in the barrio of San Telmo, because it is where the author, Quino, used to live.
Patrouille de France buzzing the Obelisk, originally uploaded by blmurch.
The next shot is of the Patrouille de France buzzing the Obelisk here in downtown Buenos Aires. The flight team is touring South America now and are playing visits to Brazil, Argentina and Chile. This was the first time that a female pilot is on board. Tons of people gathered along 9 de julio to watch the aerial display. This was the best shot of the bunch.
