I took a little tour of La Boca (a barrio in Buenos Aires) as an extracurricular activity at school.

Here’s a picture of one of the super touristy bits:

The high points of the trip were:

A] Learning that I could understand at least a little of what Maribel (our troop leader and, yes, my roommate) was saying, enough to follow along a bit and laugh at some of the important parts, and

B] When the little kids walking home from school dressed in doctor coats (the school uniform of the neighborhood, mucho cute) waved and said, “Hola Turistas!” and,

C] Seeing El (la?) Stadia de Bocas Junior. It’s immense. And plopped down in the middle of an admittedly poor area, which makes it seem like the revenue generator for quite a few people. And the hordes of policia outside, ready to tackle the hooligans as they left the match.

Also, yo corro muy rapidmente. A la fin de semana, yo va correr largo.

On to tarea!
