I mean, there are many places where you will need them: if you go to the South of the country, you get to see the glaciers, a place where everything is white and you need the glasses in order to be able to keep your eyes open. The same happens in the North if you go to the salt lake in Jujuy. Salt, as you may know, is white, so you will not be able to take a picture if you don´t have your sunglasses on. Then, the place to rest your eyes is the city. There are buildings everywhere (in one of those I had the <a href="http://www.4rentargentina.com" title="apartment rental in buenos aires" rel="nofollow">apartment rental in Buenos Aires</a>) so the shadow is wherever you need it!Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03834947660835630077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8632687405116920387.post-27302338055857703522012-07-14T15:28:13.728+02:002012-07-14T15:28:13.728+02:00Typos happen.

The weather was sunny & partly cloudy. My silk-cotton-cashmere V-neck sweaters (menswear from Banana Republic) and my pashmina were great. A pair of opaque tights made skirts more comfortable in the evenings. <br /><br />Paris came at the end of 5 weeks traveling in Italy & France. I took 2 skirts, 1 pair of straight leg jeans and a plain, short sleeve silk dress. I wish I had taken my denim pencil skirt, too.<br /><br />Saw lots of coloured jeans (including red) on men and women. Striped Breton tees and scarves were also common.<br /><br />AnnaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8632687405116920387.post-63383933052678912012-07-13T16:51:13.715+02:002012-07-13T16:51:13.715+02:00Hmmm...
