La Boca
La Boca is a rough and tumble blue collar barrios/neighborhood of Buenos Aires. It is a very popular tourist stop due to the colorful painted corrugated houses. Another big draw is the La Boca soccer stadium that draws large crowds during games. You are warned not to stray out of the more popular areas around the stadium and the area of El Caminito where the tango restaurants and painted houses are located. We enjoyed hoofing it around there, took the bus over, which we are finally figuring out how to use, have to have the exact change, no bills. Kind of wore one of us out so took a cab back.

Those houses are so colorful, I wish we had some color in the US like that, but then again, it looks a little ghetto at the same time. The tango theatre looks awesome. How fun to sit, eat, drink and be merry all while you are watching the Tango dancers. Are the corrugated houses made of cardboard?, or is that just a name for that type of house. Enjoy the sights!
