Sunday.
...more tourism...
We went to see the famous/infamous ''La Boca''. All the guides say it's a must see , but also a watch-your-pockets-more-then-the-sights place. Well, nothing happened... except in the taxi when we got there one of the girls realized she'd been given a fake 100 pesos bill at some point.
I don't know why, but this extremely colorful place made me very sad... it felt like a ''has been'', like an old diva who put up all her make-up and is trying to dance the tango in her worn-off shoes...
See for yourselves:
-probably the most photographed tree in town
Hasta luego!

See for yourselves:
-probably the most photographed tree in town
-probably the same picture you'll see a thousand times if you google '' La Boca''
-probably the reason this place made me sad. It's a romanian car from the early 70's, a Dacia 1300 and I haven't seen one since the last century...
Although it could have been a Renault 12 - there was no label
- and this is how the backstage looks
Once this checked, we made our way to Feria de San Telmo - an all-sorts market, like the Mauerpark, but way more tourist-oriented... where my hostel mate got rid of her fake bill. Yaay!
well, call me hard to impress...
