La Boca

Boca is a southern suburb of Buenos Aires. Working class and the home of the famous Boca Juniors FC. With Louis and Eyob in bed til 2pm, it was another solo trip for me.

The football season is on summer break but Boca's stadium and attached museum are still open for tours. Tour conducted in Spanish - interesting. Also curious is that former club president Macri is now the Argentinian president - 'panem et circences' works in any political period.

Met two dutch guys who support Heereveen FC (the club Marco Rojas plays for). Talked about both him and Ryan Thomas (another All White in Holland).

Have found a free poker live stream and have been watching that for the past 2 days - maybe travel to Vegas next.

Pics: (1) Stadium; (2) Maradona statue (Boca's favourite son); (3) Messi and Che Guavara - interesting partnership; (4) Stadium; (5) Signed Maradona shirt; (6) Terrance stands, no seats - a proper football stadium.Okumaya devam et
