Wednesday, May 12 – Buenos Aires

Although we arrived on Saturday, it wasn’t until today that we got out on our bikes.  We headed toward Belgrano, which is generally northwest of Casa Palermo.  The neighborhoods along our route varied from very impoverished to very wealthy.

The two photos below represent a frontier.  The wealthy homes of Belgrano are just a few blocks away. 

That’s my bike with a watering can that we bought in a shop that makes all sorts of things from sheet metal.

 

We encountered a guy with a strange pet.  A tiny porcupine from Africa.
