La Boca

Today we visited La Boca with its colourful street market, restaurants, artists, dancers and shops. The whole area is buzzing and vibrant, lively and just a great place to spend a few hours.

We saw tango exhibitions, listened to singers, laughed at the spruikers all assuring us that their restaurant, shop or exhibition was the best of all.

In the afternoon, we watched the parade of mothers in the Plaza Mayer who gather every Thursday to remember their family members who "disappeared" in the troubled political times of the late 20th century. It was very moving.
