Sunburn right in the face... Muy Feliz!

Amazing day today. Outdoor markets, delicious empanadas and pastries, beautiful sites, and holy pictures batman! The dog parks here have things for the animals to play on. The people are very friendly, and they laugh when I count in Spanish with my fingers. It's a great place.

A very silly crosswalk light, dogs and cats wandering freely, a protest in the street complete with impromptu bonfires, outdoor tango shows in La Boca neighborhood, a soccer stadium (that I hope to visit before I leave), graffiti everywhere, an incredible bookstore inside an old theatre, 50 Shades of Grey en espanol (they sell crappy literature here too!), a store devoted solely to Christmas (thought you'd like that mom), the beautiful cemetery in Recoleta neighborhood, music in the park, a lot of large buildings that I have no idea what they are, delicious sugar coated peanuts from an old gentleman on the street, and of course a nasty sunburn because I forgot I'm pale. All-in-all a winning day!

Am I taking too many pictures?

(For some reason this app doesn't upload my pictures in order... Grr)
