Buenos Aires

Lovely city of tangos and wine,
My little Europe of the New World.

Old architecture in a modern world,
The air smells like rain, even on the sunniest days,

Surrounded by balconies and coffee shops,
I hear the yells of the typical Portena woman,
music to my ears.

It is chaos, it is beautiful
so loud, so bright
old and new

You have a place in heart
with your nostalgia
and charm

Now it's dawn
and I must take off

But Buenos Aires
you've done well.

I will come back
for I'm leaving you my heart.

"it is chaos, it is beautiful"

I have not yet been to South America, but I feel the same way about the cities in Guatemala where I work. I like the way you paint the picture here, giving us just a tiny slice of the sights and sounds. These old cities, I swear they are so rich and full of life you can hear them breathe in and out during the day, and exhale softly at night.
