View from the Top

One of the things I miss most about living in Buenos Aires, is the lack of good view spots. This city is so damn flat! Fortunately some friends of mine live in a 1950's-era monster of a building they have nicknamed the "Death Star" that has an amazing terraza some 30 floors up. I decided to take them up on the offer to snap some photos to give you all a good sense of the magnitude of this city. Note that in the very last photo, you can see Uruguay across the Rio de la Plata.

Reaction to Donovan goal in the US

Thank you Señor Ben Hyman for this amazing video of people in Seattle celebrating what they are calling the "Miracle on Grass": Landon Donovan's game-winning goal against Algeria in the 91st minute to help the US advance to the "octavos".
