Me downtown in front of La Casa Rosada - the main house of government in the city
A typical cheap lunch - 'el bife' y Agua con gas, in front of the ecological preserve
BA is not known for it's beaches...
In the eco preserve, looking back towards the skyline. The preserve is nice, but it's dry and not exactly full of interesting flora and fauna
Water cannon ready to suppress any uprising from the Boca fans
We stood out a little from the crowd but not too badly. On the left is Thuy, Valeria, Me, in back is Jon, Leon (in blue), Reggie, and Mark.
Here you can find the definition of a hardcore fan
Just look at the barbed wire...I wouldn't want to try to climb that. The guy on the fence isn't trying to climb over - he's hanging banners on the outside of the fans and has a different route down.
Red+White, the colors of team River
They weren't messing around with the visiting team's (boca) fans
After the game, the police were ready with a water-cannon truck
Boca Vs River, biggest event I have ever been to in my life, and also the most insane. You can see the contained visitors section off to the left. It had stronger defenses than a prison to keep them in, and the home fans out
Recoleta cemetary - very cool square block of amazing tombs
$10 (US) meals are hard to resist...
Brant's perfect skewer
Siesta after the first round of the BBQ
What on Earth could Daphne want?
Widest street in the world. I know it might be hard to believe, but it's actually not that cool...
Rowing club at the La Tigre river area.
Dog chilling on top of one of the tour boats. This seemed pretty standard as I saw many people giving their dogs to the employees to be tied up there while the tour was being given.
Was nice to get out of the city
San Telmo arts+antiques fair. Always packed on Sunday!
Honestly probably the highlight of my trip so far. Really inspiring and talented street performers in a group called 'Orquesta Tipica'.
Amusing street performers were all over the place
Me rockin' the bike tour
In front of the dikes (see the tiny white bridge in the back? that's the one from earlier when I wandered on my own).
Love the setup outside the parilla grilles. They give you a burger or sausage, and you just load it up.
In Boca, in front of the Boca Junior team painting
Boca Stadium - notice how the CocaCola emblem is pure white? That's because River Plate - Boca's rival, has the colors red and white
In Plaza de Mayo - famous for its activism
Delicious crepe breakfast with Leon and Caitlin
In Fugate - Ian tries on an arctic-grade jacket. This mighta been a bit much for our trek...
Besides the girl in pink in the front, is this not the happiest picture you've ever seen, ever?
Acting out 'the boy who cried wolf' with yours truly on guitar for effects.
Making balloons during one-on-one's
Mi amigo Rodrigo, with whom I chatted for a bit
Once again, happiest picture ever, except for the girl in pink!
My new gear from Fugate. Didn't intend for them to be in the pic, but that's probably the cleanest you'll ever see my boots from now on.
One of the billion crazy dogwalkers in the city
Daniel and me at one of the city's many hip bars
Old ruined (and renovated) lighthouse
Ian returning from his swim to the green island (kidding)
Ian driving our dune buggy around Colonia
I know, we look so cool in this thing. Tourists were actually taking pictures of us while laughing
Got ripped off being forced to buy 1st class seats on the ferry back (normal seats were sold out) but at least we got some free champagne!
Me pondering the voyage
Colonia, Uruguay, from the lighthouse
