Palermo SOHO (BA Day 6)

Doug & I each went for runs in the morning and then we all went to explore Palermo SOHO (named after the SOHO neighborhood in NYC). On Saturdays, there is a fair in the square.

playing with Daddy on the balcony in the morning

The street fair in Palermo SOHO

Palermo SOHO is another popular area in BA. It has a younger, hipper, more Bohemian crowd/feeling. It is quite different than other areas of BA. All the parts/neighborhoods are very different from each other.

There are a lot of restauants and shopping

And, of course, playgrounds. The kids made another friend and we had a good conversation with her dad.

the Nike store

It feels more open there. The buildings are not as tall.

A toucan in one of the stores got the kids' attention

making another friend on yet another playground :)

Back in Recoleta, waiting for our table at one of the locals' favorites - the Rodi Bar.

Wow, you guys are busy! I love all of the history you are giving... pretty cool! And the cemetery...when I first saw the pictures without reading yet, I thought it was a neighborhood!! Amazing to have such architecture in a cemetery.

Glad Kerrigan is being such a good girl too, despite her 'rough ride' in the backpack! :o)

This town looks more like my kind of town... less huge buildings and nice colors. :) Some of your pictures actually reminded me of Downtown Walnut Creek!
