In my brief layover in Buenos Aires before heading south I walked the town, this time to Abasto and Once, the mercantile district. Textile store after textile store. I´m sure I would have seen electronics or leather if I had walked in another direction. I found the two synogogues in the neighborhood, and was whistled down by a police officer while trying to photograph the sephardic temple, with the textile stores at its feet. No photographing. A response to the attacks in the early 90s, and I suppose to the current state of affairs in the world.
