City tour in Buenos Aires today, stopped at La Caminito Road, the touristy area of La Boca. This little area fed my love of photographing crumbly walls and fading paint and worn and weathered things. I loved this little collection of mailboxes. After using my broken spanish to order an Argentinian beer and an empanada we jumped back on the bus and headed over to La Recoleta where Evita is buried. People spend an awful lot of money preserving a space for themselves and their families when they're dead.  The juxtaposition of tourists with cameras and coffins that you can see through mausoleum doors was eerie.  The little line from the Cappuccin Crypt ran through my head "as you are we once were, as we are you soon will be".

A beautiful blue sky cool breeze day in Buenos Aires ended with a tango show at Viejo y Almacen. Back at my little room without a view at the lovely Hotel Sofitel but lacking the inspiration to write anything. For now then I will let this photo speak for itself. As photos should most of the time.
