Buenos Aires pics

Cats rule at the Jardín Botánico Carlos Thays de la Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires . There are hundreds of them and they're all affectionate. A paradise for those who like both plants and cats!

Some of Evita's beautiful dresses at the Evita Museum. It's a lovely little spot to spend a few hours and has a nice restaurant for lunch.

There are dogs everywhere in Buenos Aires. Most breeds are represented although I've yet to see a Cavalier King Charles spaniel. Beagles, cocker spaniels and golden retrievers seem to be most popular. Dogwalkers wrangle groups of a dozen or more and most seem to be very good with the animals though some of the lazier employees tie the dogs up some place where they bark for an hour or so before they are returned home unexercised. The walker of the dogs below didn't do that; he just ducked into a store, perhaps to buy some dog treats.

Just what I've always wanted - a fur covered bathtub.
