Day Seis

On this day, we ventured to a neighborhood called San Telmo, to check out the San Telmo Sunday market. This public market is huge, to say the least. There are basically a bunch of street vendors/stands all along this street for what seemed like miles...it went on forever. Every so often there would be walkways, or smaller markets, that went off in other directions. It was actually quite overwhelming. Everything was on sale at this market...if you can think of it, it was likely there. We bought a few items, including Quilmes coasters and a photo of a local woman with all kinds of flair (an old dude was selling a bunch of photos for his son).


Subway ride to San Telmo. The passengers looked thrilled to be on the subway.

Mark and Meg on the subway. We looked thrilled to be on the subway as well.

The San Telmo Sunday market. This was the main street, with vendors for days.

More of the market...very crowded.

This booth was selling old phonograph players from a very long time ago. I think he was trying to fetch 600,000 pesos for each of them, which would be around 200,000 dollars. Gimme a break...they're cool, but not that cool.

Yet another photo of the market. We were so busy checking things out at the market that we didn't really take a lot of photos on this day, and we were so beat by the end of our market experience that we just wanted to go back to B&B and have our siesta time.

More posts soon.

Expensive phonograph player in action!
