La Boca

26 Nov

La Boca is a barrio in Buenos Aires.  Back in the day, the Italian immigrants used left over paint to spruce up the metal sidings of their homes.  The result is the colorful touristy street of Caminito.  Unfortunately, it’s recommended not to wander off the tourist areas out of safety concerns.

    Very nice pictures indeed! And you can add that those prices are really nice too. You get 3 argentinean pesos for a dollar, so a good barbacue for two costs around 8 dollars!

    Mind if I ask what kind of camera you were using to take those photos, they look fantastic.

    thanks
