Today was a very relaxing day. I went to la Feria de San Telmo, which is an antique market held every Sunday. It was large and touristy, but a lot of the booths had intruiging stuff.
I'm a sucker for antiques. I love to hold a hundred year old book in my hands, or read the fading Spanish on the back of postcard sent between two strangers, ages ago. I got a few books, saw some tango, and heard some music. Here are my photos from today.
I bought both of these books today for about $10. A Spanish Huck Finn and an absolutely amazing English book called "Legends of Vancouver." It's a collection of Northern Native American legends, written in the early 1900's. This edition is beautifully illustrated and is from 1944.
