Out and About

---

These are some pictures from my first two days exploring - we went to the "feria" at Plaza Francia (an open-air artesanal market that's set up every weekend and on holidays/"feriados"), ate lunch at a cafe in downtown Recoleta, and checked out the busy area by Avenida Florida

Yum
First lunch out! Cafe FIlippo of course...

La Feria
The little shops run all around the edge of (and throughout) the park. There are also tons of little vendors selling "pan relleno" (filled bread, like a big version of an empanada), toasted nuts, and orange juice.

Street performers are a common sight in tourist-y districts and at the ferias...

Un concierto!
On nice days, the hill at the center of the feria is covered with people drinking mate, picnicking, and listening to performers...we decided to stop and hang out for a bit!

Crossing Avenida 9 de Julio
Argentines like to say that it's the "widest street in the world," but Alicia (my madre) informed me that thats almost definitely not true...

Coca
Just like my real mother, my madre here in Argentina says she has a "vice" for "Coca light" (diet coke)

Quilmes
Argentina's version of Keystone

Buy some shoes...go to mass??
A very random church on the busy Avenida Florida
