Many of these houses are painted in bright colors, especially in the tiny tourist area in and around <i>El Caminito</i> some blocks from here. Please see my post <a href="http://buenosairesperception.blogspot.com/2009/04/colorful-house-in-la-boca.html" title="Colorful House in La Boca" rel="nofollow">"Colorful House in La Boca"</a>. I should also mention that Argentina is a very poor country and millions of people are trapped in absolute poverty. La Boca is one of the poorer neighborhoods but compared to other shantytowns like Villa 21, this rusty house in La Boca looks pretty "luxurious". <br /><br />@AB<br />Villa Fiorito? Same same but different!

Reading about the ...Fascinating house, nice photo.<br /><br />Reading about the football tradition reminds me that the most famous Argentinian is supposed to have come from the back streets of Buenos Aires. Villa Fiorito is the area Maradona grew up in.

Well about the post of yesterday my favourite brand of Yerba Mate is "Sol y Lluvia", but I dont get it in Buenos Aires, i think only sell it here in Misiones, for me is a really tasty brand, not light, but not too strong, and with sugar and orange skin I think is perfect. But `personally I don`t buy flavoured yerba, cause taste artificial, well is my opinion, well see ya, and excuse me if the comment is too large.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18093648161371783255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1852451045058053520.post-89994028958096633482009-07-24T15:35:22.361-07:002009-07-24T15:35:22.361-07:00That's funny!
