Photo Essay: Buenos Aires Turns Out Big for the Mundial (World Cup)

Before we moved to Buenos Aires, sports didnt matter to me. Even flourishing up in Louisville, KY, we was never consumed by March stupidity as well as observed with a asocial eye as my mother began following UofL basketball, wondering if pod people had taken her.

Im starting to get it, though. If we happen to be drowsing by a game, we can rest assured (or not) my neighbors will arise me up if Argentina scores a idea with shouting, air horn floating as well as a peculiar vuvuzela. The sidewalks have been dirty with confetti following each World Cup match. And we have to admit which Im getting swept up in it.

So currently we went to Plaza San Martn to catch a match in between Argentina as well as Mexico as well as Im glad we did. The crowd was great, a diversion was awesome (Sorry, Mexico fans.) as well as hours later, horns have been still honking in a street. The citys upon a high, as well as Im beholden to be here for it all. This has got to be a biggest party Ive ever been to.
