caminito

caminito in la boca is one of the oldest parts of buenos aires. the area is known as the birthplace of tango and became home to many italian immigrants in the early 1900s. many of the italians who lived there, worked at la boca's port, and brought their tradition of painting the outside of their homes with leftover paint from the shipyard. now the homes on caminito have been repainted for tourists like me to photograph all the lovely colors...
