Buenos Aires, good air

So I think I am feeling a little worn down from my last few late nights.  I took the opportunity this morning to sleep in and see if I can get feeling a little better before I come home.  It's not that I feel terribly sick, I just don't want to feel worse.

After breakfast I coordinated a city tour.  It was a really good tour even though we stopped at some of the places I've been already.

The group I was with was small and the guide was great.  I was most looking forward to going to La Boca because I haven't yet been to that neighborhood.

We stopped to walk around Caminito, which is named for the Tango song that was written by Filiberto. The block-long road shows a bunch of different murals of him and soccer star Maradona (I'm sad to say for my soccer loving friends that I didn't know who he was).  The bright bold colors on the buildings and the street side tango dancing complete the whole Caminito identity. 

I think for everyone else in the world La Boca is known for their Boca Juniors soccer team and we didn't miss a drive by their stadium La Bombonera.

The tour was a great way to spend the day because it was so nice outside. I loved soaking up the sunshine!  I capped the night off with a little shopping and some dinner!
