First stop of the day: La Boca. This area located right on the water was one place where a great number of immigrants first landed, mainly Italian. Not only is it known for its vibrant colors (people would paint their homes with left over boat paint), but also has a wide variety of street art and was THE BIRTHPLACE OF THE TANGO.
While it has become very touristy, we soaked it up.
Street Art
The off to Puerto Mader. This was a project undertaken by the BA government to help renovate the area down by the river. Many of the old building have been converted into office/loft spaces - a good juxtaposition of old and new.
The new bridge which represents two tango dancers
We had a casual four hour lunch while getting in some good people watching.
Grabbed some gelato and headed for home. We did see the pink house all lit up.
