Pictures (mainly of La Boca)

In order to see the whole of all the pictures, you must click on them. I don't know how to resize and all that stuff, so bare with me here.

Rey Carlos

This is Carlos. I don't know if that's his name but I decided that it should be. He used to come out on the veranda everyday while at the certification class and bark. All he was trying to say was, "I'm Carlos! Hey everyone, I'm Carlos."

Hombre de Defensa

When I walk home, this guy is always like this. I thought it was hilarious because obviously he looks like the guy in prison on the Monopoly board.

In La Boca, probably not the safest neighborhood to ever be in especially at night but I wanted some pictures. Here kids are just hanging out. It's pretty poor section of Buenos Aires and it's not good to be there if you're not from there.

They used to paint all the houses in La Boca with whatever paints were left over from anywhere. It became so La Boca that they have repainted a lot of the houses with the same colors. Que linda!

More La Boca.

This is my favorite picture so far. I was riding on my bike and taking photos at the same time and I passed by this.

This is the terraza in the back


The place is pretty gritty, but I'm only staying here until my other apartment is being renovated. This apartment does have some character though that I admire. I'm just glad to get outta that hostel I was in. I like the terraza because people can come over and we're on top of the roof. You can see the stars and play guitar.

The other place I have lined up is down the street from this one but has a lot of class. It's very open and it has a lot of sunlight. It's on the corner of the building on the fourth floor. The outer wall has like 3 or 4 balconies you can step out on. The person I'll be renting a room from there said that it won't be ready until next week. I saw all the construction and said yeah right. She doesn't know what she's talking about and she's not taking into consideration Argentine time. However, I'm set up with a place to sleep and soon I'll be the place that'll be home.

Ciao.

Scott.
