Don't Cry for Me - Argentina


It took us forever to figure out where to go to get Gene a cane. We actually found a very cool place by the plaza that sells beautiful antique canes of all kinds - in the $US 600 range. Oh, well, we finally figured out that the block after the hospital that we went to before is the place to go. Once we were there, we realized there are something like a dozen medical equipment places in that one block. No problem. A real cane, adjustable, properly designed and weighted and all that, decent looking - 68 pesos - $20. Good deal! Hopefully it will help. So before you start feeling sorry for Gene hobbling about on his cane, go ahead and look at our photos for the day. Just a casual afternoon in Plaza Dorrego - 2 blocks from our apartment - tapas, beer, tango... Don't Cry for Us!

$600 for a walking cane. Perhaps on Rodeo Drive.

Amazing, huh? They were beautiful antique things. Fascinating. Some of them had swords inside! One of them actually contained a gun of some sort. Try picturing trying to fly American leaning on that baby! But they were gorgeous things. I should have taken photos.
