My wife and I recently returned from a 3-week trip to Argentina. She gave a couple of invited talks at conferences, in Buenos Aires, and we have long had Patagonia on our travel bucket list. But being in the neighborhood, we explored Buenos Aires, the wine-producing region of Mendoza, and the neighboring country of Uruguay. Over the next month or so, I'll be posting photos from this trip, beginning with Buenos Aires - one of the most interesting and sophisticated cities in South America, with a distinctly European heritage and flavor.
One of the first things I was struck by in Buenos Aires is how pedestrians, and sometimes even cars, are shielded from the elements by canopies or roofed promenades. This is probably due largely to its European architectural heritage.
