Escrito por un americano que vive en Argentina... mientras otros muchos eligimos (algunas décadas atrás) vivir afuera!
"I like living in a country where an ideology still reigning in the US has come to grief; where crisis has enforced creativity; where the political spectrum is not exhausted by two colors; and where very little that matters is taken for granted among the people I know. It has also done me some kind of good to live in a country that, for all its troubles appears to be on the mend, rather than, like my own, the spellbound captive on its decline. At the moment the future looks bright for Argentina.
Then again, it often has."

La Catedral y el monumento al muy discutido Jackson (culpable de mas de una masacre de indios...).
Un tipico edificio de la ciudad del Jazz
Una turista con fondo de French Quarter. Y no dejen de ver el video que sigue... tiene sus bondades...
El NO COVER del cartel no tiene nada que ver con la vestimenta de la chica.
Esta foto demuestra que no todo New Orleans se dedica exclusivamente a la musica...
Y esta otra muestra que hasta Perry podria pasarla bien aqui.
Al dia siguiente, bien temprano, a recorrer otras zonas de la ciudad del Jazz
Aqui un monumento a una francesa famosa...Y en el video que sigue, mostramos el Mercado Frances, que tiene poco y nada de Galo y mucho de cualquier cosa.
Finalmente, terminado el paseo, a buscar el auto en el amplio estacionamiento con fondo de New Orleans.
