My plans for the weekend were all backwards. I thought I’d be seeing the Melvins on Friday, but discovered on Thursday, an hour after they’d started playing that I had gotten the date wrong. So Friday was a blank slate when I got a message from Pablo that he and another guy were meeting some girls from Costa Rica at the Plaza de Mayo to do some sight-seeing, and asking if I would like to come along.

I arrived a little late, but the guys were later. The other guy turned out to be Guille, who bewildered me with his fast talking but is funny in any language - even the one you don’t know. We spend the better part of half an hour walking the Plaza looking for the girls who were nowhere to be found. Finally the decision was made to set off.




Shortly after this picture was taken, I realized we were in route to Puerto Madero. I told the fellas I’d walked there the previous weekend, and the decision was made to turn around and go another way. And it was Rivadavia all the way to Cabellito on foot. We began at the pink X and walked to the green X. ( The following are what we saw in between. If you don't like pictures, you ought to skip this. )
