Poo Poo on your Shoe Shoe
The dangers of traversing the streets of Buenos Aires- no it’s not the potential of being mugged or kidnapped . . .it is the danger of stepping in a steaming pile of dog dung, sliding across as your flip flops smushes it and then leaving a trail of poo prints down the street for every passerby to snicker at your misfortune. The danger is real and something to be considered while walking the beautiful streets of BA. You will notice that most people glare at the ground as they walk- at first glance seeming to be avoiding eye contact with a stranger, but in reality it is peoples intense glare at the concrete that prevents them from becoming a poo casualty. They are not shy, rude, or antisocial- they are smart and intent on not getting pooed. A few post back I mentioned the top 5 reasons to look up- in this case, while in Buenos Aires, I am telling you to please, please look down!
Please trust me- I have walked an average of 8 miles a day here. Look at my damn feet. I love walking here, it is a beautiful city. But, like I said beware of the threat of being pooed and bring plenty of band-aids and such. This pile was what I had to apply to my feet one morning.
so are there a lot of stray dogs there? is it all dog poop or cats too…horses???? enjoying all the posts. you are going to have quite a collection of memories when you finish this.
Hey Susan,
Yep, there are stray dogs everywhere. It has taken every bit of strength we have to not pet them. Lots of stray cats too. No stray horses that would be crazy and totally awesome in a city this big. No horse poo either.
