The Argentine government very recently signed a law to allow gay marriage, so there was quite a bit of graffiti along those lines. This particular graffiti espoused a somewhat unique take on the issue:
The bit on the left translates to "No to marriage, gay or not gay," while the bit on the right is a declaration of resistance against "heteronormativity and assimilation." This is an interesting town so far.
Around noon we checked into Art Hotel, which is kind of a boutique renovation in the ritzy Recoleta neighborhood. The room wasn't ready till 2 pm so we decided to go get a light lunch at a place called La Querencia which turned out to be, how you say, no so light:
The dish I had was called Puchero Criollo, kind of a mixed meat and veggie stew. It was 40,000 times better than the food-like matter we were served on the plane. I'm very impressed so far by the cuisine. Coke is made with sugar not with high-fructose corn syrup here, so that was yummy too.
By the way the weather here is awesome, hovering around 50 F which feels so good after the 100 degree weather we have been having in New York.

How about some pictures of the hotel? We are staying at a lovely B&B. Our hostess Nancy was in the live radio program we attended on Sunday and the play we attended last night. She was theater major at Luther College. Her husband David was a fireman and is now an excellent chef!!!
