Sunday, 10/13. Clear skies. Walking/bus tour of the city. Martin, our Trip Leader, stopped frequently to share history. Pointed out the cathedral Pope Francis was in charge of. Flame honoring the Unknown Soldier. Saw the presidential HQ, not lived in. President has a nine square block residence 20km away. At a cafe listened to a filmmaker who documented an interview with his grandfather who played a role in their “Dirty War” of the 1970s. 30,000 people disappeared. Interesting. The work to identify bodies has made Argentines world renowned for the skillset.
Visited the Boca section, an odd place. Walked back through a massive 10 block market. Had a late lunch of breaded steak. Excellent.
Home hosted dinner was very interested. Two sisters, who had three other sisters. Terrific hosts, sharing lots of useful story.
Our Trip Leader with wife and son, plus one group companion. 
Street art is back! Strangely missing in Brazil. 
The balcony used by Eva Peron to speak to the people. Madonna acted the part on the same balcony. Locals displeased by that. 
I’m not sure. Bored wait staff? 
Boca district. Lots of statues. Lots of shops. 
Catsup packs for my fries. WIth a helpful pair of scissors. 
Home hosted dinner. Hosts are the two on the left, standing.
