We took a little walk (slash long walk) over to Plaza San Martin to check out this display of "international bears"....there was one for every country, painted by different artists. I'm not sure why bears were the chosen animal, but I think the general theme was international diversity and cooperation (there were two "golden rule" bears in the center of the circle of bears in the plaza)
