Buenos Aires - La Boca, Estancia and Football

On Saturday we visited La Boca, one of the poorer areas of Buenos Aires, but beautiful all the same. The home of Boca Juniors football club, La Boca is very bohemian and very colorful.

On Sunday, we were invited to an Estancia (a house in the country) of an Argentinian friend of ours... we sat by the pool, sunbathed, had an asado (lots of grilled meats) and some wine.

Last night we got to see some Argentinian football at last, at the stadium of River Plate. Argentina 1 - Ecuador 0. Not particularly interesting match, and I think Argentina were quite lucky to score, although they deserved the victory.
