The Rambla is a paved course way that runs from Ciudad Vieja to Pocitos and beyond. It runs along the sea where humans go to walk and talk, show themselves off to the world, build sand castles on the beach. There are animals, bike riders, skateboarders, old couples, young families, and tourists strolling and playing here this morning. Buildings along the beach in Pocitos are unimaginative as if beaches all over the world have been given up to developers who see things only in cost per square foot and know instinctively that boxes are the cheapest and quickest geometric forms to build. A dog chases a Frisbee thrown for him onto the incoming waves. When he comes out of the sea, he brings his Frisbee back to his human companion and refuses to let go of it, shaking his head and keeping the toy from an outstretched hand.  His human wrestles the Frisbee out of his dog’s mouth and then  throws it back into the surf. to keep the game going. The dog chases it again, happy as a clam. Dogs have a good handle on what they need. Getting your master to love you is their ultimate prize and catching and bringing back a frisbee seems a small price to pay for love.
