I left the cemetery as it was cooling down, but the drizzling was indecisive...
I turned left, and ambled slowly by this colorful church with late stragglers sneaking quietly into the back as mass continued.
Right outside the church and cemetery was a street fair. Apparently these go on every weekend all over the city. Local artist display their work, or collections. Some places weren't quite so "authentic," and had to laugh at "I <3 ARG" reading it as a pirate. Arg, ya maties!!!
It would be cute if you loved someone with ARG as their initials!
Quite a few vendors had met matte mugs, and yes, I did eventually cave in and bought one. At the bottom of the picture, those are straws.
I thought of Janitha and little boys everywhere at this display. Very cute!
I did buy one of these. It is now hanging up in my guest bedroom as a reminder of my May-autumn in Argentina. I loved the oranges and reds!
I'm still not sure what these were supposed to be, but they did make me smile and were completely photo-worthy!
More matte cups.
I walked more towards town, enjoying the architecture of the buildings and the lines of the windows.
It threatened rain, and I ducked down into the "Subte", short for subterrainian, or, as I know it, the subway.
I think it was about $2.50 to ride each way, and as I passed the gates, I worried a bit with all the graffiti going down into the tunnels.
I was pleasantly surprised once down there to see these beautiful tile graphics of days past.
I had a hard time imagining Argentinians in, what I thought to be, colonial attire.
The colorful scenes were a nice distraction while waiting for my subte to show up.
I was pleasantly surprised how clean it was. I got onto Linea A at Peru heading for "Plaza de Mayo." Not very far, if I am correct in my remembering, but I really wanted to have the subte experience.
When I got off the subte, I headed up nearly pristine stairs for my next bit of adventure...
Ok, so maybe I had my directions mixed up... let's see where this takes me!
