La Boca




La Boca is one of the original settlements and the oldest part of the city of Buenos Aires. It is near the port, and now is mostly a tourist area, with colorful store fronts. There is extreme poverty in this area and we understand that it is not a safe place to go at night. We did not stay long -- just long enough to snap a few photos. This was one of those rare times when the photos were better than actually being there.

It looks really nice. So, it's not really like that up close and personal?

Yes, it looks just like that. But it didn't feel particularly safe, so we didn't stay long at all.
