sketches from Buenos Aires!

I just spent a week in Argentina! Buenos Aires is gorgeous city - I'll have to post photos later. But in the meantime, some sketches:



































This is how I taught myself to read a Spanish menu =) Mmm, Bife... mmmm, empanadas de choclo y calabazas, mmm helados...




















People watching at Iguazu Falls. Iguazu Falls = Perfection!




















I was drawing animals at the Jardin Zoological when I found myself surrounded by an entire field trip of little Argentinian kids.. so I started pointing to each drawn animal and asking "¿QuĂ© es esto? " (What is that?) Soon I had the entire group spelling out animal names in Spanish for me. So cute!
























Portrait of me by Josh Park. Enough said.
