Impressions of Buenos Aires

This book presents impressions of the great city of Buenos Aires in Argentina in words and pictures. These impressions do not convey the knowledge of an expert on the city, but the fresh view of a first visit by a seasoned traveler. Hence, the book is not meant to be a traditional travel guide, but to paint the atmosphere of the city with its inhabitants and its culture, without any aim of being complete - but with the aim to inspire future travelers to the city. The form is that of a collection of short pieces of text, illustrated with photographs taken by the author. The book covers two side trips as well to Ushuaia (the most southern town in Argentina and gateway to the Antarctic) and Montevideo (the near capital of Uruguay, just across the wide Rio de la Plata).
