Too many wonderful things at San Telmo Market – Day 5 5-18-14

We spent our last full day in Buenos Aires at San Telmo market.  Tango, arts and antiques have are what you find at San Telmo, the oldest barrio (neighborhood) in Buenos Aires. Cobblestone streets are lined with cafés, parillas, street performers and stunning colonial architecture.  You could just feel the energy in the air.  We found too many things that we wanted here.

See the little cups?  Those are herba mate cups made out of gourds.  It is a tradition/obsession in Argentina.  You see people everywhere carrying around their thermos of hot water for their mate.
