After the churches, we went to the poorer part of Buenos Aires. I loved this part because it’s so colorful. The people in the poor part of Buenos Aires can’t afford to buy new materials, so they use scrap metal to build their tenements. They don’t have insulation, so the summers are very hot and the winters are very cold. The shops that lined the roads were filled with souvenirs and it was fun to look at all the colors and explore a little bit. It was sad that even though it looks colorful and alive, the people are very poor. After el Caminito, we drove through the slums of Buenos Aires. It was hard to see people with almost nothing and dogs walking around without food or water.
Away I Go!
