When we first arrived in Buenos Aires, Argentina last week, we weren’t sure what to expect. Then we discovered the explosion of color in the Boca area famous for its working class neighborhood; the friendliness of the locals including those who stopped us in the street to give us directions; delicious grilled meat everywhere; and the melange of European culture found in a fascinating city like BA.
Here are some snapshots of our first week:
