Calle Defensa between Plaza de Mayo and Plaza Dorrego on a Sunday afternoon
 |
| The whole family tends the open air stall.... |
 |
| Freshly shaven, with furry booties and frizzy hairdo, and one ear dyed pink, a busker dog stands on the shady side of the street. |
 |
| Now what, says the mature hippie.... |
 |
| It's either the heat or too much cerveza, but one indulges in a siesta... |
 |
| Internet Cafe sign |
 |
| The more duster feathers the less hair.... |
 |
| Pochi, oozing charm at 76+++ |
 |
| Snacking in between sales... |
 |
| Portenos hanging out |
 |
| Turista? |
 |
| San Telmo Balcony |
 |
| Sunday, many of the regular shops are closed, and the 'Persianas' (roll down metal shades) are closed. Most of them reveal the work of nocturnal graffiti artists... |
 |
| Profiles of light and shade... |
 |
| It is incredible, but many of the street vendors are thoroughly familiar with Literature as opposed to pulp fiction, and not just Argentinian writings but international as well. |
 |
| Soccer en miniature....Argentinian of the Year is of course a soccer player, albeit he plays for a team in Spain just now: Messi. |
 |
| Creativity in a spray can |
 |
| Taking the pooches out for a turn around the block |
 |
| Where are my cigarillos... |
 |
| Cute, but not for sale... |
 |
| Mate Man |
 |
| Cycling is becoming fashionable. Even Borges Street, where I live, has been narrowed down to allow a designated bicycle lane. Great for cyclists, bad news for people losing that side of the street for parking |
 |
| I did not even notice when I snapped this picture, that the baby was just having lunch... |
