we finally left our grand hotel. They were very nice to us at the gran hotel hispano, and perhaps more importantly their soap was embossed with their name:
The grafitti here, at least in the downtown bit, seems to be almost always political. We are collecting photos of the best ones but this kind of sums up my feelings about buenos aires so far. (the translation is below).
