Pictures 1-2 are the first murals seen emerging from the metro on my first day in BA. Picture 3 is of a tango mural found in subsequent weeks.

Every Sunday is market-day in district San Telmo; picture 4 is a miniature representation (twelve inches high) of the many newspaper and magazine kiosks throughout the city.

Picture 5 is a colorful painting of the Boca neighborhood. Pic 6 is an autographed jersey by football player Diego Maradona, a man who is literally a God in Argentina (found in my favorite pizza joint El Cuartito).

Pic 7 is of a marionette drinking away his sadness over his lost love.

Pic 8 is what tourists should learn to expect from South America.
