Like my giant Olympia SG 3!<br />I wish my Olivetti Lettera 31 could have such a type style...xD<br /><br />Good Winds, Argentine... Nuh! That's nothing! You should come to Oaxaca City. We seem to live trapped in the eighties (although you shall be able to find Olympia SG 3 and lots of Olivetti Letteras only). And our markets are more interesting. Our antique stores and thrift stores are fullfilled with very true treasures normally at ridiculous prices...xDRobin Heilschild 【蓋面】https://www.blogger.com/profile/03429820251341371094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8655653784122131754.post-86229011021721640602016-02-21T07:20:48.526-05:002016-02-21T07:20:48.526-05:00 aah, the Valentine - as beautiful as those carria... aah, the Valentine - as beautiful as those carriages. One of the biggest puzzles in the universe is where those really quite big and you would think not easily mislaid spool nuts go. I suppose, along with all biros, there are in that great typing and scribing pool in the sky where innumerable monkeys are producing the works of Shakespeare - though Borges, the patron saint of Buenos Aires writers, said you only need a single monkey - it just has to be immortal. BA looks gorgeous - you must be having a wonderful time and thank you for sharing.. no country needs a tourist board, just a visit from Richard.Jim Penningtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08112749411068007584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8655653784122131754.post-24136521641311364962016-02-21T04:20:24.973-05:002016-02-21T04:20:24.973-05:00Love the subway train.
