Throwing this in here now... Remember the balcony gardens that are everywhere? I took a picture of a good example.
San Telmo! Remember all that history I talked about in the Bus Tour entry? Now you have pictures to match it with! (But I was pretty focused on Defensa, the street where the San Telmo fair takes place, so you don’t really get to see all of it.) There’s a fair every Saturday and Sunday there. It’s a gathering of artisans and just regular flea market-ish vendors that are there every weekend in good weather. (Recoleta, where I live, also has a fair in the plaza just next to the cemetery.)
Reflection of a very old building on a much newer one. :) We passed this walking from the subte (subway) to San Telmo.
Another sight passed en route to the fair. No idea who it is...
...But he apparently wasn't very well-liked.
My man, Castro! Ugh, no, that didn't sound like me at all. Anyway, here's Fidel Castro.
I <3 graffiti.
And the fair! People as far as the eye can see, going on forever in both directions up and down Defensa.
Scarves. So many scarves. Some sooooooo soft.
Absolutely gorgeous, hand-bound books. Must resist!!
Look at that!! The people just on for ever and ever! With your eyes, follow the street into the background of the photo. The tiny, dark patches way in the back there? MORE people.
More pretty books, also handmade. Less ornate than the others but still beautiful.
These lovely "ladies" stopped traffic along Defensa completely. They were promoting an event that had to do with the store to the left. No chance they didn't fail to get people's attention!
