Yesterday

Here's what we did yesterday... it was a very full day of preparing for my boyfriend's solo art exhibit, Mind Your Hands, at Galeria Popa in Buenos Aires.  I can't reveal all the details but I can show you some of these photos.  We have a few more full days to go before the show opens on Saturday!

Walked about 12 blocks to the nearest bus.

Stopped by the shop/garage that is making the vinyl letters for the show.

Walked to the best restaurant in the neighborhood and got choripan
(cheap, GOOD, family owned, and have home made hot sauce).

Jojo (one of the gallery owners) and Nena (the dog) joined us for lunch (almuerzo in Spanish).

Walked to the frame shop and stopped to take a picture of ourselves walking down the street, at my moms request!

For 50 pesos ($12usd) we arranged for this truck - which seriously looked like what Gonzo and Camilla
would drive in The Muppets- to meet us at the framers and drive the art back to the gallery. 

Some guys helped load up the art into the truck.

 

A muppet looking dog whimpered to us from a balcony.

None of these are Mike's so we cleared out the gallery space to make room for the arriving prints.  More to come!  

After a long days work, we attended another artists opening in the Palermo neighborhood.

The crowd - dressed to impress.

It felt like we were inside a Sephora bag...the stripes were cool.

BACK in South America

Wow I haven't updated this in a long, long time.  That's because I thought our travel adventures were coming to an end but I was wrong.....  I am writing this entry from the 10th floor of an apartment building in Buenos Aires after arriving here only a few days ago from California.  

View from our room.

We flew home from Argentina about a month ago, even traveled to Hawaii for 10 days, San Francisco for one week and back to Los Angeles before getting on another flight back to Buenos Aires.

We are here because Mike has been offered to have a solo art exhibition at Galeria Popa in La Boca, Buenos Aires!  It feels great to be traveling like normal people - staying in an apartment with no huge backpacks on our backs.  Right now we are spending our days preparing for the show at the gallery... more to come!

La Boca, Buenos Aires.
