museo


We had to go to B . A . to see an Andy Warhol show. It wasn't the show that we went to see. It was the Museo de Arte de Latinoamericano de Buenos Aires. The museum is home to one of the largest collections of Latin American art in the world. A very popular place to be. There was a huge line to get in on an ordinary Sunday afternoon.

Not a lot is open on Sunday afternoons. So we got on a city bus and just said to the driver that we wanted to go to an area where there were restaurants. He didn't get it, so I couldn't pay because you pay for your destination.

We got dropped off in an unfamiliar barrio and found an empty restaurant(it was only 7:00 p.m.) and when we came out of the restaurant, the street was no longer empty and the stores had opened up.

There is a lot of garbage on the sidewalks in B.A. People , some sporting nice clothing and cell phones pick through the garbage and recycle what they want. Some guys haul it away in carts, others just carry it with them.
