Around a corner in Las Canitas

Persicco is another one of those ice cream chains Buenos Aires is popular for. You can imagine its popularity by the number of people sitting outside. Of course that day was a very warm day, but even in winter Persicco gets crowded. The story of Persicco started in Sorrento in 1931, continues in La Plata in 1960, and finally got a star in Buenos Aires in 2001. Las Canitas, where I took this picture, is a neighborhood delimited by the avenues Liberator, ~~Luis Maria Fields~~ Luis María Campos, Federico Lacroze and the Chenaut and is about 20 minutes away from the center.

Nice pictures. I like pictures that are a little bigger than normally seen. I am trying to figure out if this is one way to share photo experiences with others. My place is not a blog but a website. http://www.oldmanlincoln.com/ then click on photographs. I may not be close to being good enough but I have been taking pictures since 1953 and the only difference is I now use a Canon digital camera. Thanks for reading this and sharing beautiful photographs.

I think that Luis Maria Fields it’s not in the guia t, you should put the real name, not the translation.
Saludos y muy lindas fotos como siempre!!

Karine, why didn’t you write “Luis María Campos”? Please don’t tell me that now porteños are calling it “Luis María Fields”!

Thanks for the comments everyone.

Alfredo and MS– My mistake, you guys are completely right. I don’t know what passed to my mind while I was writing. It is indeed “Luis María Campos”. Nice of you to check on the details
