After a walk through Puerto Madero lunch at Restaurante Siga la Vaca.   DSC09055

After lunch, we went to a section of town called Boca, home of the soccer team, Boca Juniors. Boca's team colors are blue and yellow and their arch rivals, River, are red. Coca-Cola is a major advertising sponsor for both, but on the Boca Junior's stadium, the signs are painted black and white instead of the usual, red and white.


Boca used to be a villa (Argentine slum) until a local artist became famous. He returned and  donated a lot of money into the area; it became a tourist destination.  The town was originally  made from any materials and paint  that people could scrounge up at the docks.

I was Tricia’s personal translator. She told me that I did a great job! I am so pleased that she thought so.
