The legacy of the "dirty war" haunts this country. I went to the Barrio of Once to see if there were any interesting remnants of the oldest jewish settlement in BA. Couldn't find any, but near the Plaza Miserere I stumbled on a corner devoted to the memory of what happened.
Today (Thursday at 3:30 Plaza de Mayo) also was the weekly demonstration of the mothers and the grandmothers (abuelas).
Earlier I visited the barrio of La Boca. Its football team - one of the teams I saw play Saturday - is one of the most famous clubs in the world. The barrio is noted for its colorful architecture.
I've tried many times to show another La Boca image, as well as a photo of iconic wall art in San Telmo. Likely will require a supplement.
Maybe I am limited in how much can be in a blog???
Wow These pictures of the mothers are amazing for their story. They remind me of the ones coming out of Libya now, little toddlers being held up against khadafi.
