Thought it was interesting in the cemetery that there was a sign warning not to leave standing water around (as in flower pots) in order to prevent mosquitos and Dengue fever.

Just walking on the streets we passed many interesting shops.  They seem to be clustered by speciality in many cases.  On one block there were several stores with party items for Quinceneros (sp?) celebrations.  Beautiful dresses, fancy layered cake designs (all with lots of signs say no pictures!)

There was a music store about a block down from our hotel that had video performances playing on screens in the front of the store all the time.  Every time we walked past there were crowds of people watching.  It was never the same performer, and as far as I could tell it was not a live performance of any kind.  I found this strange attraction to this broadcast video performance a bit unusual.

I freind of mine from Brazil mentioned that he thought it was interesting that Argentinians were still so drawn to hard copy books and CDs.  He said in Rio everything is very much digital these days and you don't find many stores with books and CDs.
