Day 7 of our time here and we have settled into a pretty good routine. Touring until about 2 or 3, home for nap/lazing around and then dinner at 8 or 9pm (the late eating is difficult as it has been conflicting with certain baseball interests).
Today we went to La Boca, the port area which is mostly working class except for the Caminito, a few blocks of brightly colored buildings and tons of tourist related merchandise (once again, Bob Marley seems to have special import for this area, as he did in Bangkok, Phuket and if I remember right from 1995, Kathmandu). Have been trying to do a better job of photographing, but picasa is giving me trouble so facebook is probably a better place to check.
We ate lunch today at Kentucky Pizza (slogan: the best pizza since 1942). We ordered their special, Gran Kentucky, sight unseen. I wondered what the Kentucky part of it meant. Slathered in a mint julep? Horsemeat? Sadly just cheese, ham and olives. I just hope the proud Kentuckians don't learn how their state is known here for mediocre pizza.
Tomorrow we are off to the Feria de Mataderos, which google translate tells me is the "Slaughterhouse Festival." Will report more then.
