Today's wonderings

you absolutely must have an icecream sundae at El Vesuvio


delivery bicycles are absolutely everywhere


arquitect alert: most edificios in Baires proudly display the names of the architect, builder, and sometimes the engineer


but not this one.


Can anyone tell me what the symbol of the two arms holding a stick with a red beanie on it means? it's absolutely everywhere

in the Cathedral


on the waterworks building


at the Plaza Asturia restaurant
