Buenos Aires, Argentina: 2 Weeks In Photos
November 8, 2012
Shoot with Andi
Endnote: Sadly, these are the only photos that I was able to take of my beloved Buenos Aires, Argentina due to coming down with a nasty stomach virus that forced me into the hospital and thus ruined my husband’s 28th Birthday and the rest of our trip. Thankfully, I will be returning during the upcoming Holidays and will have another chance to photograph one of the most photogenic city’s in the world. In the meantime, please feel free to check out other photos from my previous 13 trips to Buenos Aires.
Andi, these are such lovely, atypical shots of Buenos Aires! Brings back great memories from my time there. I’m so sorry to hear you were sick during your trip there! I hope you’re all recovered. I’m off to peruse photos from your other 13 (wow!) trips there!
Thank you X a million for your thoughtful words! Being sick was no fun, especially since we had waited a year to take the trip and I felt like I had ruined my hubby’s Birthday. He spent his special day in bed with me. But, there is always a next time right? XO
So sad you got sick–SUCH a bummer!–but what gorgeous photos and it looks like you had a lovely time beforehand! You’re definitely one of the reasons why B.A. keeps climbing on the list of places I want to go…and these photos aren’t helping 🙂
Awww thank you so much, you have no idea how much your sweet words mean to me! I teared up a bit!!! I hope hope hope you make it to BA, I promise you will LOVE it!
Can’t wait to see pics of BsAs during Christmas 🙂
PS: I loved the old fashion mail “boxes” in BsAs!
Fingers crossed I stay healthy on this trip and I can take the pics that I really want to take!!! I’m lucky I got these shots! Yes, I LOVED the old fashioned mail boxes in BsAs too.
Lovely photos! I want to visit Buenos Aires again! Hope you’re feeling better. Being sick is no fun, especially when it involves hospitals in foreign countries.
Thank you! BA is so awesome right? It took me months to feel 100%, but I’m okay now!!! That was an experience I hope I never go through again.
Oh no! Poor you that got that stomach virus! I so know how that is – I went through the same while I was in Paraguay actually and it took me time to recover from. (I also lost around 75% of my hair exactly 3 months after that – which I was told can happen when having had a serious infection in the body – I seriously hope you will NOT!!!!!).
We never went to Buenos Aires at our South America trip unfortunately and we really regret that. Nice pictures of yours!
And I recognize that bridge! Puente de la Mujer without doubt, designed by the engineer Santiago Calatrava – one can not mistake his unique way of designing things!
…and a fun thing is that I’ve just written a post about another creation of Calatrava before coming here to comment, so forgive me for leaving a link to that post within this comment:

I hope you’re 100% recovered by now! Hugz x 100!
It took me 3 months to recover, but I never lost any hair. I am sooo sorry you went through that. Big, big hugs!!! The Puente de la Mujer is a place that is very special to me and I have a lot of unforgettable memories from it. I will check out your link now. I’m 100% recovered I think? I hope the same to you darling!
Oh, dear I can’t believe you were that ill! Being sick is horrible, but getting sick in a foreign country is just the worst feeling. (Even though Argentina is probably like a second home to you now!) The photos you did manage to get are just gorgeous, as usual. Thanks for sharing them!
It was one of the worst experiences of my life. I tell you what though, I really appreciated life once I started feeling better! Thank you so so so much for your kind words re: my pics. You made my heart smile!!!
It’s such a shame that you were sick, but at least you’ll be back soon and can hopefully make up for lost time. Beautiful photos as always!
At least I wasn’t sick when I was with you! I would have just been devastated if you had traveled to BA and then not have been able to see each other. I forgot to add the pic of us grrrrr!!! Finding it now.
So beautiful! We are headed there at the beginning of December and I can’t wait!
Oh wow really? How long will you be there? We arrive the 28th!
UGH, getting sick is no fun when traveling!
Mine and Kike’s anniversary is next Saturday, so I planned an early Thanksgiving for him and his family, hauling back cans of pumpkin mix, cornbread mix, etc. Then, of course, he gets sent on his mission a week early, meaning no anniversary or Thanksgiving for him. How can three of us eat a 10lb turkey!?!?
Oh noooooo I’m SO sorry to hear that!!! I would offer to help you eat it, but I’m a veggie haha! Besos!
Wow you really captured the beautiful side of BA.
Gracias amigaaaaaa!
Stunning photos Andi – what a shame about your stomach bug – I hope you are feeling better now.
Thank you immensely!!! It was such a shame, I was really upset that it happened, but such is life, right?
Beautiful photos Andi! Hope you’re better. It’s so unpleasant to be sick while on a trip 🙁
Thanks sweetheart! Yes, it took me 3 months, but I’m better now yay!!!
Love that shot of you and L!
Thanks love!
that’s a great shot of the puente de la mujer! Sorry we didn’t get to meet up! Next time!
Thank you so much, yes I promise next time!!!
Saturday morning in Boston: sunlight, crisp air, maple syrup coffee from Vermont, and my reading on gender-based violence. I took a break to return to your blog, to your affectionate images and your wonderful words. It was the best pick-me-up I could have wished for. I’m sorry I’ve been quiet around here lately — my mind is still wrapping itself around being here, my heart is still learning how to be (back) in the US, how to be a student, how to balance. Your site is such a sanctuary and it’s a treat to return here and remember wandering. Big love to you — and hopes that the next trip to Argentina is entirely healthy!
I swear to goodness you are just the most amazing person EVER! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your kind words and I wish you best in settling back into life in the US. I’m here if you ever need me. Much love!!!
So sad that you had to go to the hospital, but the pictures you managed to get are amazing. Glad you’re doing better, though!
Thank you sooo much darling girl!!! Much better now! 🙂
Beautiful Photos – Such a shame you couldn’t see more. oh well always next time 🙂
It was a total shame, not that I couldn’t see more, but that I ruined my hubby’s Birthday! 🙁 But, yes always next time!!!
You caught some really good shots and I love the angles. Glad you’re feeling better and that you have another trip planned so that you can really enjoy the city!
What a sweet comment, thank you from the bottom of my heart!
I’m sorry to hear that it took 3 months to recover. I’m glad that you are healthy in this moment, and I’m also glad that you take these beautiful pictures and that you share them with us. 🙂 Wish you all the best!
What a lovely comment, thank you sooo much dear one!!!
Sorry to hear you were so ill and it ruined an important birthday. Thankfully you are better now and I look forward to your future pictures.
All the best.
Thank you so much, what kind words!
I LOVE the picture of the street from the ground! And at least your next trip to BA is bound to be better 🙂
Thank you, I love that shot too! Yes!!!!! Love the optimism!
what a beautiful place! that totally sucks about being in the hospital though!!! that happened to mark when we went to malta this summer – he spent 5/8 days sick and unable to go anywhere 🙁
Noooo how sad! It’s the worst!!! Being sick when you travel — I wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy!
Beautiful pictures! I just love your eye for the details that make a city like Buenos Aires so special!
I’m glad you’re better now!
Thanks sooo much! I love that city with all of my heart. 🙂
I love the photo on the street level, and I’ve seen you do them – my hubby does the same!
I am obsessed with that angle! I want to meet your hubby.
pretty country is that where your hubby is from?
Yes! 🙂
Even though you didn’t get to take very many photos, you captured the city quite nicely. 🙂 I really like the shot of the mailbox!
That means a lot to me, thank you dear!
Lovely shots and angles…love the shot of the cobblestones. You have a great eye! So sorry to hear you were sick 🙁 That happened to me in Jordan, when I was six months pregnant and I had to be rushed to the hospital. So glad it wasn’t serious for you!
Well, it was serious, I was sick for 3 months, but yes at least we both recovered!!! I can’t imagine being sick and pregnant though. I would have had a panic attack. Thanks sooo much for your kind words! XO
We were in BA a few months ago and love your pictures. It’s an incredibly colorful city. Hope you feel better.
Cheers,
Michael
Thank you so much! Isn’t it just so beautiful??? I can’t wait to be back in a month!!! Best wishes!
Gorgeous shots!
Thanks Tom!
I like these adventurous pics which relates me with the fascinating world.
Thank you so much!
Omg your photos are INCREDIBLE!!! I live in Buenos Aires (part time) and you’ve captured parts of the city simply perfectly. I’m definitely following your blog from now on.
I’m sorry to hear you came down with a nasty bug. I hope you manage to return to BsAs soon!
Best
