OK, not so 'wordless' today
Necochea (my hometown) is located here in South America
It's on the Atlantic, and its beach is one of the widest in the world
The sun raises and sets on the sea...
When the day is not good for the beach, people go to the Miguel Lillo Park, that has millions of pine trees...
...or to the beautiful Quequén River...
...or to the 'old downtown', where the statue of General Mariano Necochea looks over the entire city.
They celebrate the city's anniversary on that same square, with a huge community barbecue... (drool)
But the place I miss the most is the Café "Tatalo"... the best croissants, the best coffee and the best ham and cheese toasted sandwiches in the world!I always go back to Necochea... almost every night.

Stunning pictures, I can see why you miss it. I hope to make it to South America, some day and if I do I will make sure to visit.
Wonderful pictures. I would love to visit South America some day.
Over the last few weeks your WW posts have transported us back to another time, but this one takes us to another place. Those are a great set of photos - almost makes you feel like you've been there.

The trees in the forest/park are something. How often or do you ever really get back there?
It's nice to see pictures from where you come from! It's such a lovely place!

Great photos! I love the beach shots...just so ready for spring around here. But my fav is the one looking through the pine trees.
Wow! These photos makes me more anxious to go back home. Happy WW!

My so called life
What a beautiful place! Thanks for stopping by.
What a beautiful place to have lived. It must be very different for you there in Canada. Polar opposites practically. I just noticed that your wife's name is Gabriela. How interesting to have names so close to each other.
Wonderful summer shots while so many are weathering the cold here. Enjoy! Sure makes the Gypsy in me want to see it all.....
Great Shots - thanks for stopping by my blog. The pic was taken at an Aquarium in Corpus Christi, Texas.

bravo pictures! i like the one in the beach with the sunset and those trees perfect shot.
Great pictures! Thanks for stopping by!
Que lindas fotos. Pero siento que se me estrangula el corazon, sobre todo con la foto del parque donde pase tantas tardes con mi hermanito (no nos dejaban ir a la playa solos mientras mis abuelos dormian la siesta) y la de Tatalo donde siempre encontraba a mi mama y a mis tios tomandose un cafecito despues de la playa. Yo tambien vuelvo seguido en mis suen/os.
Wow, that's absolutely gorgeous! I can see why you miss it so much! Thank you for sharing your beautiful pictures with us! :-)
you've got some great story to tell there Gabriel. very detailed graphics. I love the shore shot and the barbecue party too. ughm, do they make vegetarian bbq?

el otro día comenté que no es San Martín el de la estatua... es Mariano Necochea. San Martín tiene las tres vainillas... no sé que pasó con el post, desapareció...
Uy, tenés razón. By the way, las fotos que usé son tuyas, no? Porque yo no recuerdo haberlas sacado, pero estaban en mi PC...
Nope... not my pictures, wish I had been at the asado though...
Hola Gabriel,
Sorprendido del giro tan particular que ha tomado tu blog.
Eres muy diverso y polifacetico.
Tienes todo tipo de lectores.
La foto del parque Miguel Lillo es MAGICA, parece irreal, como si fera de una pelicula fantastica o un bosque de elfos del Se&or de los Anillos.
Me dejo boquiabierto.
Yo trabaje varios a&os en percepcion remota analizando imagenes de satelite, la vista de toda Sudamerica SIN fronteras es espectacular.
Se ve Necochea es un lindo lugar.
Saludos
Arturo
