“Up a lazy river by the old mill run, that lazy, lazy river in the noonday sun.” – Sidney Arodin, songwriter, chorus to Lazy River I’m going to be as lazy as the Rio de la Plata in this post and leave it pretty much all to the photos. My usual trips to Uruguay are… Read More Up the Lazy River
In the last post I stopped at Plaza Pueyrredón, in the 6900 block of Av. Rivadavia. This is a good point for a little tangential wandering, as the entire area is considered one of cultural and historical interest and is the heart of the original Barrio Flores. In fact, the plaza is commonly referred to… Read More Presidential Backbone – Separated Disk

Dinner was long over. We… Read More Day Trip – Saint Peter’s Burg

This is the half of the walk that is often what people set out for – the four museums of Tigre – unfortunately, being a Monday that we were there, all but… Read More More Tigre’s Eye…
