More passion in Argentina’s capital

WE found Molly Malone’s article to have a club-hopping, celebrity-watching, college student focus [“In Buenos Aires, the Living’s Easy,” Aug. 20]. We loved Buenos Aires on our recent visit, in part because the people are not Hollywood hipsters.

The people of Buenos Aires openly shared with us their culture. From the maids to the bellhops to the taxi drivers and street-fair artisans, the people of this bustling city exhibit passion, pride and a sense of purpose in their everyday activities.

Charmed by the eclectic variety of neighborhoods that come together to create the capital of this vast country, like Malone, we too did not want to leave.

THE map that accompanied Malone’s article was unhelpful. Had the map included streets that were mentioned in the piece, with a code matched to the locations cited, one could clip the entire article and file it for a future trip.

The Times will not receive the Pulitzer for cartography this year.
