market at san telmo {buenos aires}
Hopped over to Buenos Aires {taking the Buquebus ferry from Colonia to Buenos Aires} and got a chance to walk the colonial streets and take in the city vibe of the capitol of Argentina. On Sundays, everything {and by this I mean EVERYTHING} is closed but there was a market at San Telmo that was filled with people, antiques, tango dancers, musicians, handcrafted artisan goods and more. San Telmo is a very old neighborhood in Buenos Aires that has cobblestone streets and little cafes with vintage signage. I walked through the market and it was such a visual treat to see the beauty of old but lasting craftmanship. Above photos were some of my favorite items: {Top left} A collection of original iron door knockers in the shape of a hand. {Top right} A collection of tango hats. {Bottom} A collection of old glass soda bottles from Argentinian cafes in a beautiful mix of colors.Labels: travel
