San Telmo Market PT. II

It was a cloudy day for exploring, but at least the city turns into a village for sundays.

  Most barrios in Buenos Aires have open air-markets every Sunday, as well as an abundance of street performers. This is the second post describing my wanderings around the San Telmo neighbourhood to enjoy what most travel guides tell me is an absolute necessary Sunday event in the city.
Daily Special: Some cut of Pork that I forget, papas frites with chimichurry and "salsa"

   Started my day with a typically large-portioned lunch special in a decent restaurant in San Telmo, forget the name of the place too. I really should be taking more food pictures, but the nice meals usually come with wine, and after that so much red meat and wine, who can be bothered to make sure they dont lose their camera?
James Bond would approve.
 The decor was nice in this place, and now for something completely different: Went to see SkyFall in theatres here, cero cero siete never fails to entertain.

Live dancing, live guitar, live classiness.
 Ive took a decent video of this scene, but uploading it is proving more difficult than I thought. Should have lowered the video quality while I was recording. Oh well, Im working on it.
More old-school cool
 I feel like this is a good city for steampunks.
Wheres Waldo-esque public dance party. Click the picture and see if you can spot all your favorite Saturday morning characters!
 I saw more top hats Sunday then ive ever seen in one year in Toronto.
Kind of dark, but the guy in the bottom right is singing Opera.
And too end the day, public Opera in the main plaza of the city.
Sunday well spent!
