there's poop on your shoes!


i hope you can appreciate the immaturity of this post. buenos aires is a unique city in many ways, but i have to say i have never seen quite a scene of dog poop as i have here. to each his own and each of us have had our own experience with this animal littering. over my expansive lifetime of twenty two years, i have stepped in dog crap, maybe one of two times. over the past two days, andrew, aaron, mark and i have all lined the treads of our shoes and beared the awful stench that would thus follow us throughout our walks of the city. i'd like to be viewing the old buildings around me, the parks the run through palermo viejo, but the war zone that invades the pavement is too dangerous to be ignored. nonetheless, i guess we are provided with a little entertainment waiting to see who treads unluckily next. i have also really enjoyed the street stencils. there is some pretty neat graffiti art on the walls, but many times there has been such a disregard for public places. the picture above is of stencil that was on a wall outside the zoo.

Sean, this is kind of a test, we got messed up with our password. Good to hear from you. Watch where you step and send us some pictures, not of the poop.
Love You
Grammie or Grandpa

Sean,
I had written, but couldn't get it to go, that not only do you have to watch your feet but also your head. As I see from the pictures, and had also heard, there are lots of birds. You can get it from all directions.
Looks like you are having fun.
Tons of love, Grammie
