Walking across Plaza San Martin in the city of Buenos Aires, Argentina. It's a park located in the Retiro neighbourhood and situated at the northern end of pedestrianized Florida Street.

Impressive to see the monument to the fallen in the war for Las Islas Malvinas in the city of Buenos Aires, Argentina. As it happened in 1982 it was a war at a time we were alive. Las Islas Malvinas is still a touchy subject in Argentina and one should never refer to them as the Falkland Islands.

We found some of the best murals in the industrial area of the city of Buenos Aires, Argentina. These murals were painted by Alfredo Segatori, a local celebrity.

Truth be told, we did ask our tour guide to take us to some of the lesser known areas in the city of Buenos Aires in Argentina. Seeing this though was a bit of a shock as there are actually people living here.

A colourful bar in the La Boca area of Buenos Aires, Argentina. We had some good coffee here while watching the people pass by.

Interesting set of doors in the La Boca part of Buenos Aires, Argentine. Clearly the people living here wanted to make the building look nice and painted it using blue and yellow including the doors on the left. Either they didn't get around to the other two doors or the people living there couldn't be bothered. They should be painted yellow in my opinion.

After visiting the colourful houses in the La Boca part of Buenos Aires we checked out some of the more quieter streets nearby. Even though these simple houses were made of corrugated sheets they looked comfortable enough and the inhabitants gave them some colour.
