After lunch our tour guide stopped at the apartment and walked us to a beautiful hotel nearby where we waited for our tour of the city. Much to our surprise, we were greeted with a bus full of Hell's Angels all dressed in their leather regalia. We learned that they came from all over the world for a yearly reunion that they have each year in a different country.They turned out to be interesting travel companions except they always managed to get back to the bus late.
We saw a large variety of sites but today I'm going to focus the blog on an area named Caminito. It's actually a rough section of the city and we are warned to go there only during daylight hours. We can hardly wait to return and we're making plans to go back for lunch and an afternoon of people and tango watching.
The buildings are eclectic and colorful and the street is a progression of cafes; all with outdoor tables and entertainment. We watched tango, flamenco and listened to some excellent live music. To make it even more fun there are street artisans with a variety of hand made items for sale. I saw beautiful photos, paintings, hand made jewelry and a huge amount of leather goods. I'm trying not to buy anything yet until I can find the best of the best but it surely is tempting because the prices are very low.
