Aeroparque & Palermo

This is a blog that simply describes some places where i go running/ jogging. I'm lucky enough to live in a very nice part of Buenos Aires, and a not very known one.

Aeroparque is the local airport, where locals flies take place (the international ones get to Ezeiza airport, far from the city). Palermo is the neighborhood of Buenos Aires where several places were left natural, and they are known as the Bosques de Palermo or Palermo Woods.

The pictures were taken on Sept. 27, 2005, one of the first days of springtime, at noon so there were not too much people in the streets.

Hope you like it.

Some nice buildings at La Pampa street.

This is the back of the golf court, the Club the golf. We'll see it later [Mental note. Why do you speak in plural?] 

Some nice buildings. The thing at the front used to be a gas station but they closed it.  

Behind this trees there's a lake, el Lago de Regatas. We'll get back to it.

Avenida Figueroa Alcorta. A fast way of leaving the city. On the other side of the road is Aguas Argentinas, where they clean the water from the river and send them to people's houses.  

La Pampa and Figueroa Alcorta. The sign with the "enes" is not completed (someday will read "Origenes").  

The bridge over Lugones. 

The beginning of avenida La Pampa, at avenida Lugones. I turn here to get home.  

The bridge over Lugones. I like it very much. Aeroparque is on the other side.  

Avenida Lugones, a fast way to get downtown. On the other side is Avenida Cantilo, the continuation of Avenida Costanera, the one that borders Aeroparque.  

This is the only plane that took off while I was there with my camera (when I don't bring it with me I see hundreds).  

The side of the bridge. If you urinate here people from Lugones avenue don't see you, but the ones circulating by Costanera avenue do.  

Just to make sure I took these pictures. I was tired and sweaty.  

Another runner, in front of me.  

This is an entrance to Aeroparque... As you can see, it is not extremely guarded...

A cool restaurant called Clo Clo. You sit there and you can watch the planes coming and going. My ex was crazy about going to have lunch there but we never went.

Starting the run.  

Another view of avenida Costanera, there are a lot of restaurants in that part of the avenue.  

A sign asking people not to drop garbage because it may get into an aircraft jet engine.  

Avenida Costanera, the one next to the river.  

A triangular building. Don't really know what it is.  

A fashionable disco.  

The Aeroparque (over the fence).  

Here it is, the river. El Rio de la Plata (the silver river).  

Behind the column there's a choripan cart. A choripan is a sandwich made of chorizo (pig sausage) and, well, bread (pan).
