Many times, a vacation warrants adventure. Other times, your body goes on strike until you dress it in a bikini and take it to the beach. After my parents retired in Naples, Florida, I find myself needing more of these weekends… Follow me on Instagram: @TaraKalmanson -Tara

Thanks to my pilot’s crafty landing on my return to NYC from New Orleans, I was able to snap this beautiful day in downtown Manhattan and south Brooklyn. Look for the Brooklyn, Manhattan, and Williamsburg bridges, left to right. -Tara

Foto Ruta Photography Tour in Buenos Aires

in Art & Architecture, Shot of the Week 0 Comments

Whenever people ask me for the must-see sights in Buenos Aires, I tell them the major touring can all be done within two days. Some ambitious people even do it in one.

Before legislation was passed in the past few years, there were once even glass-walled areas inside restaurants that let a smoker know where he was welcome. Though the end of the age of the smoker is near in America, it is very much alive in Europe! Check out this “non-smoking area” on a train station platform in Vienna–a glass box with chairs inside! -Tara

San Telmo, one of the oldest neighborhoods in Buenos Aires, is appropriately filled today with stores selling antiques and assorted vintage items. This dress was on display outside a store in a converted mansion from the 1800s. -Karina
