NYC 4th July Fireworks !

Went to the Independance day Celebrations by the Hudson River to watch the fireworks. It was a super massive crowd and it was already packed 4 blocks before the riverfront. But still managed to have a good view despite the distance from the actual firing.

Bay2Breakers 2011 !

Yesterday was the 100th annual Bay2Breakers race in San Francisco - one of the most fun races ever. 12k, very little elevation and lots of fun, costumes, and craziness. Went again to walk the 12k and be part of all the good fun. Check out the pic below for some of the craziness at the race.

La Boca neighborhood, Buenos Aires, Argentina

La Boca neighborhood in Buenos Aires is one of the most colorful areas of Buenos Aires and also the one with the most gypsy and European feel to it, with all it's outdoors coffee shops and restaurants set out on the street, and all the street performers. Most of my pictures are from the Caminito street, which is a pedestrian only street with all the colorful buildings, outdoor restaurants and tango street performers.

La Boca is also home to the Boca Junior team of Argentina which is one of the most famous teams in Argentinas. At the time, I visited though, it was not football season and hence could not watch a game, but it's one of the great football experiences that one should experience to know how passionate Argentineans are about their football.
