On this second day of the Open House weekend, we planned to get an inside look at an old railway bridge with an interesting history. Unfortunately, when we got there it had started raining and it turned out they cancelled—which was a pity, because as you’ll see from the other photos, the rain stopped and it turned out to be a lovely afternoon.

Next we went to the museum of the works of Benito Quinquela Martin, a famous artist who was born and raised here in La Boca, and painted the people working in the docks. His work is compelling and powerful, and I never cease to be enthralled by it.

Finally, we walked along to an area called Caminito, which is super touristy but still great to visit once in a while.

Pity about the bridge, but otherwise it was a lovely afternoon. I’ve taken some photos to make a sketch, but I’d actually prefer to go back another day and sketch it on location.
