La Boca

We spent a much-too-short time in Buenos Aires' La Boca District where there is so much to see. But the bus must move on because we have a schedule! Many of the buildings are painted bright colors like these.

Per Wikipedia:
La Boca is a neighborhood, or barrio of the Argentine capital. It is known throughout the sporting world as the home of Boca Juniors, one of world's top football clubs. La Boca is a popular destination for tourists visiting Argentina, with its colorful houses and pedestrian street, the Caminito, where tango artists perform and tango-related memorabilia is sold. Other attractions include the La Ribera theater, many tango clubs and Italian taverns, as well as La Bombonera, home of Boca Juniors.
