A question answered…
If you’ve spent anytime in Buenos Aires you’ve spent some time on the broken and torn sidewalks that frame each and every block. If you’ve ever wondered why the sidewalks require you to keep one eye on your feet and the other on where you are going its because the sidewalks aren’t maintenanced by the city but are instead maintenanced by the building it fronts. In addition, the sidewalks are constantly torn up to repair pipes and the buildings don’t want to front the bill. If you’re lucky enough to enjoy a flat and even sidewalk give a thumbs up to the buildings on the block for making your walk in Buenos Aires that much nicer.
The dog walkers however, may have just been there, so keep an eye out!

My favorite part about the sidewalks here is when it has just rained, or they have just been washed and you step on a tile and mud/water/gunk splashes up on your pants…it’ such a great way to start the day! I do have to say, the more it happens the more I just laugh about it! Everyday life in this city is filled with so many of these special moments that sometimes you just have to learn how to enjoy them! At the end of the day, I don’t mind a little dirt on my pants…after all just look around at this amazing city we are in; I think the little everyday inconveniences are well worth it, and part of the experience!
