For Art's Sake

It was raining this morning so I decided a warm bed was preferable to running in the cold. I went back to sleep listening to the rain drops. Lingered with a coffee and the english language Buenos Aires Herald at Cafe Origen before setting off for the day. 

Most days, since I came back to Buenos Aires, I have been taking the Subte (uderground railway) to a different station and finding my way back to San Telmo. Today my navigation skills deserted me. I planned to visit the Museo de Arte Latinoamericano de Buenos Aires (MALBA). Its collection spans from the turn of the 20th century to the present. It could have spanned the length of the Andes and I still wouldn't have had a chance of finding it.

I had thought I was gaining a good sense of the city. Too stubborn to ask directions or consult a map I wandered for hours in the light rain. I conceded defeat and took the Subte back to San Telmo. Instead of Museum Art I strolled around San Telmo for a closer look at the street art.
