el subte

el subte is what they call the subway system in buenos aires. it's short for subterráneo which means underground. it's the first subway system build in latin american and the 13th oldest in the world. the 4th oldest in the americas after nyc, boston, and philly. a book i just read on buenos aires says that the A line is a must see because it still carries the original subway cars with the antique wood-framed interiors. here's a site with some photos. another great thing about the subte: it's only 25 cents to ride it!
