We're getting a lot of walking in as we go to these ferias--three so far this weekend. After we got back from this morning's shopping we ate lunch, then walked down to the river--about 10 blocks.

All the benches in this part of town are painted with bright colors.

Parrots in Jail
This made me sad. These guys were jammed into this cage.

For mate, the national drink.

A HOT day at the beach
There aren't very many people down here now, but since we've been sitting here we've seen hundreds of people--all in groups of 20 or so, heading for the beach. What else do you do on a hot Sunday afternoon??

Bob Finds a Shady Spot Out of the Heat
It's a gorgeous hot day here so we took a walk down to the river. Since there's no shade on the beach, we sat in the park. I studied Spanish and he read a book. A nice way to spend an afternoon.

These are axolotl's they are not fish they are amphibians like frogs.They are related to Salamanders which is their land dwelling cousins.

Thanks! I really appreciate your comment. I remember now that the guy standing next to me said something about it not being a fish. They're those creatures that are so ugly they're cute. Kind of. ;)
