What a weekend it has been!

 Best part of Trelew is the dino museum.  It was well worth the wait!

 A bit of Buenos Aires. Lots of beautiful buildings.

 Rather than show a million photos of the neighborhood of La Boca, I think this dog house sums it up.  Lots of color and amazing :)

Can anyone find what is in the salad bar???  Excuse me, you are out of pig head...do you have any more in the back for my lunch?     Today I saw cow brains in the market. That is a first.

Last bus taken.

Last hitch hike survived.

Last load of laundry hand washed...YES!!!!!

Now in Buenos Aires and it is everything people have told me about.  Dirty, big and beautiful.

Professional dog walkers, cobble stone streets, horse drawn carriages, colonial 10 foot wooden doors. Bookstores galore (on book 15 now), giant cathedral churches, museums, boutiques and sidewalk shops aboud. Famed as one of the worlds greatest theatres, I bought a ticket to the opera that will show tonight in Teatro Colon.  I will be attending in my best clothing which includes sneakers, jeans and a maybe unwrinkled shirt.

I have, sadly, lost the companionship of street dogs.  The ones around here seem to always belong to someone or some shop.  There are, however, plenty of cats.  I don´t know why but they seem to be dirtier than dogs.  They hang out in the zoo, parks, botanical gardens, everywhere. Yesterday I stumbled across a park with dozens of sculptures dotting the grass.  Wondering around I was attracted to a large crowd and found a stunt car show going on.  It was awesome!  Lots of donuts, shredded tires, smoke, some sparks and squealing. There was even a ramp that the cars would power over and crush to the bottom.  It was great :)  Today is Evita´s grave site and bits and ends of things I need to do.  This whole trip has seemed to be like a long weekend.  I don´t feel like I have been gone at all. My bank account knows better but who cares about ´the man´and his numbers! :)  I may just become a street preformer here and juggle needles for change.  It could work! 

Aside from all that, this city is beautiful.  I was wary of staying here for so long but now that the end is near, it is no where near long enought!  I will see you all soon enough in tattered clothing and a giant backpack! :)
