Me and my older brother Guillermo, circa 1973 (Necochea, Argentina)
I know, the matching outfits... Come on!!! It was the seventies!!!
Oh, I just realized I mentioned this mustard coloured bike in one of my stories!

Looks like the two of you had a lot of fun on your bikes! Is that a guitar you’re holding in the second photo?
Hi Gabriel. These are delightful. And as another child of the 1970s, I hear you re. the fashion thing. I still cringe, though, when I see old photos of myself. What were my parents thinking?
:)
My WW entry is up here:

Hope you can drop by and say hi!
All the best,
Carmi
Stephanie, yup, it's a guitar! My father played one, my brother does, and I do! It's a family thing...
Thanks, Carmi, I have many more of those pictures with the matching outfits. I'm scanning some 200 slides I found! And there are that many from my wife too! Guess who will be the star of my next WW...
I'm heading your way now!
You were stylin' in your matching outfits! Great pictures!
My mother used to make matching outfits for the two of us. Sometimes she made me matching outfits for me and my Barbies.
Awesome vehicles!
Love the stripeswe had the long pants version even more stylish and I bought them myself:>
Hi Gabriel, my sister is only 16 months younger than me and she really hated those matching clothes. Everybody thought we were twins...
Have a great WW!
Tina
The 70's! Matching outfits! But no perms? LOL!
Talk about a time warp! Not only the outfits, but the machinery too. Man, what a difference a couple of decades makes.
Evenso, both sets of kids are very cute, love the hair.
Happy WW!
Adorable!! sweet pictures and what great memories.
Happy WW!
That is stunning,Gabriel! I will have to ask my mom for my old pics too:) nice entry! Mine is up too:D
I really dig the shorts with the stripes - I'm so glad I was too young to really remember the 70's :P
Hahaha...it's great to see that you all suffered from the same
70's fashion disasters in Argentina as we did in the U.S. Even still...you two were hansome fellas.
very nice! ;)
Mine's up as well!

I occasionally dress my daughters in matching outfits. I think it's cute.
State of Confusion
My sister and I used to have matching outfits, too. That was back in the '80s :D
You guys are really too cute.
And it may not be the 70's but
I still like those matching
outfits hehe of course I hated
it when I was a kid.
Happy WW!
Great photos! The guitar just tops off the 70's charm!

Cute outfits ha ha...my siblings and I were the same *lol*

Happy WW!

Mi bicicleta!!!!!!!
Aunque la mia era naranja metalizada...
Pu... donde estan mis fotos?
Another child of the 70's checking in.. born in 74!!!
Great picture...priceless photo!
Love these sorts of shots. They tell two stories: one of the subjects and one of the world at the time the photo was snapped. Happy WW.

La Vida es Hermosa
My So Called Life
Qué lindos!!! a mí también me vestían igual a mi hermana y a veces a mi hermana y mi prima :s (mi abuela nos hacía vestidos iguales a las tres )
Love the bike I had one like it or very similar in powder blue.
Nyuk! Nyuk! Nyuk! Nyuk! (for the anglos)
Sa-sa-sa Sa-sa-sa ! (para los argentinos)
I love the little blue bike. My kids would love that! As for the matching outfits, I do that to my kids. They are going to hate me someday. :-)
You look so cute there
LOL! I've been a victim of the matching outfits too :D
Happy WW!
Love the pictures....they are fun! I just found some from 1969-70 and posted them a few days ago too....
Great photos. My pictures this week are of my children when they were little. Seize the day!
Love the matching outfits. :) Happy WW! Mine's up at http://spiceworld.us
Love the photo Gabriel! I always look forward to your old photos!
Hey and congrats on the weight loss! I am on that same journey!
These are just to fun!!! Happy WW!

Thanks for stopping by - happy WW!
My sister and I had matching outfits too when we were younger, lol.
Great photos! Very memorable. Happy WW.
Great photos! You're really rocking the flashback shots. :)
Lovely shots! These kind of photos are worth to keep. Happy WW!
MY LIFE MY WORLD
SWEET PARADISE
Gabriel, I love old pix! What do you mean scanning slides - how do you do that? Happy WW! :D
You are so much alike, you and your brother! Very cute pictures!
Vroom indeed. Thanks for stopping by, and happy WW.
I like your photo this week! Very clever... :)
I was here Gab, thanks for the drop!
I have another one here:

Great wheels!!!
Ahh. I love old photo's. What does bro think of you posting him?
Jan, I asked my brother for permission; he posted a comment indicating that we looked like Moe from the Three Stooges (look for "Guillermo")...
My brother asked me to pay him C$ 0.01 per comment, so I guess I owe him $0.60 now (which is about $120 American with the soaring loonie) :-)
Oh, the seventies! Brings back memories.
Thanks for visiting my WW.
Hermosas fotos y hermoso tiempo (sin lugar a dudas) donde uno podia salir a la calle a jugar tranquilo sin que pase nada.
What's the "Waterloo" here. *giggels*
cute guys, they are.
btw: our dish? Poisson Gratiné. What else - but a bad photo?
Looking cool, Gabriel!
Love these.
Happy WW~
My brother and I have our own bikes and chase each other around town. One day, my dad gave me a new bike. Somebody stole it a few weeks after. I cried the entire day that day but I still got my old bike. The next morning is was back to the usual chasing my brother around town. :-) Happy WW! (belated)
Gabriel, the guitar in the photo is so small, I thought maybe it was something else, but I wasn't sure what. (Churango? Wrong shape. Ukulele? Probably not...) So I had to ask. It's neat that you come from a family of guitar players!
P.S. Thanks for stopping by my blog. :)
I love old school photographs, great job on your two here. I'll have to do that one WW here soon...just have to scan some great pics of my Brother and I back in the day.
Thanks for the great shots and memories!!!
Those ARE some great looking outfits!!
Looks fun...ah...how nice to look back eh? Happy (belated) WW!
mas de 70 comentarios!!
y la mayoria en ingles.
Ya estas en las grandes ligas mi amigo.
Que tiempos felices aquellos, la ni&ez en los 70's.
Recuerda que tenemos exactamente la misma edad.

Felicidades.

No exageres, Arturo! Por lo general, los miércoles paso holgadamente las 200 visitas y los comentarios son muchísimos, pero eso es más que nada por los post de Wordless Wednesday. Que son populares, no hay duda; pero yo también me tomé el trabajo de visitar muchos sites para hacerme conocido.
Muchas veces había comentado que me desilusionaba un poco la falta de lectores frecuentes que hablasen inglés, así que me puse en campaña; me fue demasiado bien, porque ahora se me está yendo un poquito de las manos la cosa... Fijate que ya tengo más de 200 comentaristas distintos, y recién estamos a 21 de mes.
Los dos premios que gané recientemente (el CDN blog award y el de BlogCatalog) me sumaron muchísimo tráfico diario (sobre todo el segundo, porque muchos lectores de Filipinas, Malasia, USA y otros lugares ahora me leen diariamente).
Pero al mismo tiempo, muchos de los que antes comentaban ahora han 'desaparecido' un poco, como Ana, Xel-Ha, Guillermo, Alfonso y algunos otros. Evidentemente, no puedo conformar o gustarle a todos.
Pero sí estoy feliz con el blog en estos días. Las historias y las fotos que escribo tienen buena aceptación y me hacen sentir muy bien los comentarios bien intencionados.
Eh, Arturo! Tu cuenta me da 31!
Yo tengo 36.15 más impuestos.
Aren't you kiddies cute!
What great memories. Those photos are in amazingly good condition. Thank you for visiting!
Beautiful Memories - nice bikes and cute kiddos

Livin' With Me
gosh, they look just like my two in the '70s!
Sure miss those days! Time flies.
Your dc look so much like you at that age. It looks like you guys have so much fun but I would have had to protest the matching outfits with my brother. LOL
I often wonder what we're wearing today that will be despised in the future.
