...can`t believe I`m leaving

Feria de matadores- 1st weekend in April we went to a different place in Buenos Aires (an hour by bus) to hang out at this festival. It was sort of like a fair with many different vendors and lots of great food! We went specifically for the choripan and humita (a tasty corn slop), it was fabulous. After our first helping, along with homeade wine, I was completely satisfied. But once Negro finds something he likes, he goes all out. We shared 3 more choripans. (these are the size of brats) ... and that stuff on the table, incredible kicky sauce to dress the chori. yum The cow parade came to Buenos Aires, I liked this one because you can see the same look on street corners, subway corridors, and plazas.
This one was cool too :) Republic of Argentina cow, with lots of other postage from around the world.
We`re fun :)

This is Boca, a part of the city that opens up into the river. (the mouth of the river) A very colorful place, although here you can`t see all the green, blue, yellow, orange and red because of the sunlight- they are all there- covering the buildings on many streets.
This is the not-so-colorful portion of Boca, but it definately had character. One little guy approached us as he saw I was taking pictures and asked us if we wanted a tour of his house. "ahhh... thanks, very kind of you, but we`ll stick the streets"
Not a huge fan, but once every 10 years or so... its superb.
I really like this obelisco.
what a great blue, eh?
