Welcome to La Boca. |
|
|
Another funky intro to La Boca. |
|
|
This building is a popular sticker, poster and picture for La Boca. |
|
|
Some bundled trinkets, before being set up and hung individually. |
|
|
Popular Buenos Aires trinkets. |
|
|
No shades?? |
|
|
A traditional, non-Tango dance. |
|
|
Everyone can play. |
|
|
Just another tall guy looking for tips. |
|
|
Greek? |
|
|
Lots of these little wall murials throughout La Boca. |
|
|
Typical very colorful building style in the center of La Boca. |
|
|
One way... |
|
|
The other way. La Boca was/is not a very ritzy part of town and the sheet metal structures are common, but less colorful as you leave the center. |
|
|
I thought this was kind of a cool picture by itself but wondered who and where the artist was... |
|
|
I walked by 20 minutes later to see this guy with underdeveloped arms and legs, doing his thing. |
|
|
This is a crappy picture but I just took it to show that in La Boca they like the American flag while some places in Argentina avoid it. |
|
|
I assume this is from the 70's and 80's when they tortured thousands of Argentineans during the cold war. |
|
|
This chubby styrofoam character has seen better days. |
|
|
Another poser styrofoam guy. |
|
|
Another famous La Boca scene. |
|
|
Closeup of the stars - Juan Peron, Eva Peron and a socker star whose name I didn't get. |
|
|
Ingraving Mate mugs. Mate is a very popular tea type of drink that, to me, tastes and smells somewhat like bitter green tea and cow manure. |
|
|
Imaginary living room. |
|
|
More La Boca scenery. |
|
|
Finally, some Tango! |
|
|
Freaky scary looking art in La Boca, where there's all kinds of art. |
|
|
Another noise-making tip request - the guy picking his nose asked for cash because I took their picture. Not today. |
|
|
A port office at La Boca. |
|
|
Another soccer player, |
|
|
And another. |
|
|
More typical La Boca scenery. |
|
|
Heading west out of La Boca Centro the homes are a bit more broken down. |
|
|
No grill, no problem! Nothing gets in the way of Argineans grilling farm animals. |
|
|
A statement about the police, church and press that I saw several times in La Boca. |
|
|
More Tango. |
|
|
At the beginning of La Boca Centro. |
|
|
Tango Stud! |
