Days Eight and Nine

The main reason for doubling up today is that I hardly did anything newsworthy Day Eight. I did walk to and take a tour at the Ricoleta cemetery. My favorite images are this spider web lock at one of the crypts




and the patina on this aging metal.




Today was primarily spent photographing Luchi, her boyfriend Chris and street art.









I intended to show a lot more pictures here but it is not allowing me to do it.

The dogs are lovely to be around. In my neighborhood and in most of the places I have been they are pedigree breeds and well cared for.

A lot of people smoke, especially the women.

It seems like every time I ask for directions my target is going to be four blocks away. Often they do not know what they are talking about, but that does not stop them from forcefully giving the directions.

The basics here are cheap. A ride on the subway ("Subte") is one peso, ten centavos, which is slightly more than $.25. The Internet cost me about a peso or two each time I used it.

The people follow rules (for example, when they are driving, unlike New Mexico) except for jaywalking which is done by everyone.
