South America

Back in Buenos Aires (after Rosario) I met up with a friend and we went to La Boca, a very famous neighborhood in BA.
Cool houses!

BUENOS AIRES, ARGENTINA
LA BOCA NEIGHBORHOOD

A few days later I got on a boat and headed over to Montevido to catch a flight to Rio in Brazil.
Many people told me that Montevideo was like Buenos Aires 50 years ago. I tend to agree. It was much more relaxed than BA. One difference that we noticed was that the cars actually slow down or stop when you are crossing the street. In BA...they speed up like they are TRYING to hit you.

Some pics of Montevideo, Uruguay

Wandering around town with people from Ireland, Germany and Canada.

Drinking MATE (hot tea) with some Germans on the rooftop of our hostel.

This dog looked very sad....poor guy.
