I haven't been posting as frequently as I would like, and I realize it's because I keep waiting for good pictures to use. But every post doesn't require pictures. And in fact here's one where pictures would probably be, let's say, unwelcome. Because what I want to talk about here, briefly, is dog shit.
Let's just say there's lots of it here. And so, watch your step. My second day here this trip I totally skidded on a big pile. It wasn't pretty. And at least two or three times since, even though I'm keeping an eye out, I've had to look for a puddle to rinse off the bottom of my flip flop. Hard to believe it, but I guess New York was just like this not that long ago. And Paris and London and wherever else. But eventually people in these cities got used to picking up their dog's "solid waste."
It's just another kind of pollution, I guess. The richer a country gets, the more it starts cleaning up after itself. And eventually that includes the dog crap. Visitors to BA be warned -- Argentina is not that rich yet.

Hey Dan,
In Berlin, oddly enough, Das Doggy-Poo is also a big problem. You'd think those rule-oriented Germans wouldn't stand for this defilement of their otherwise clean streets, but when it comes to their dogs, basically anything goes. So stepping in a pile is like a rite of initiation for Berlin newcomers. Hey, aren't there a lot of Germans in Argentina? Hmmm.
