Inside Parque Rivadavia
In the middle of the Parque Rivadavia, you’ll find this arch looking monument, built to the memory of Simón Bolívar, a Venezuelan military and politician and one of the important leaders of Spanish America‘s successful struggle for independence from Spain.
Chess game in the park
In Parque Rivadavia you can find almost everything at the feria of used books, records, rip-off and other CDs, DVDs and video games. People also gather to play chess as shown in the picture. I’ll further do a posting about Parque Rivadavia with more pictures. This park is located in the barrio Caballito.
Another kiosko – Caballito
Love the kioskos in Buenos Aires. They can be so lively and colorful, with tons of candies, chocolates bars in display. Starting this week, my goal is to post at least a picture of a kiosko every week. With so many of them in the city, it should not be too difficult for me to keep up with it weekly ;=)
Beautiful building

Gorgeous edifice on the Avenida Rivadavia. Unfortunately I don’t have any info to share about this building. Anyone would know what this is?
Hairstylist
Les Parisiennes – the name of this hair salon’s interesting. From what I can tell this is a caballeros/niños stylist [men/children]. Would Les Parisiens had been a better fit for this place? ;=)
Avenida Rivadavia
Caballito [little horse] is another of those barrio of Buenos Aires. Its main avenue is Avenida Rivadavia, where I took this picture. It is one of the main commercial streets in the city. Caballito is often compared to the barrio Belgrano for that it lacks nothing and offers all possible services.
