this morning team condron took a guided city tour. it was scheduled to be from 9 a.m. to noon but it took until 1030 am to pick up everyone at their respective hotels and we didnt get back to our hotel until nearly 3 pm. we are getting better at adapting malayas schedule. malaya had a very short nap in my arms on the bus and since there was no lunch stop i had nuts from a street vendor. holding malaya in my arms on a full bus for 6 hours gave me flashbacks to the flight yesterday. it was a challenge and i do not forsee anymore friggin bus tours.
on a less negative note ' the tour was interesting. Photo 3
at the law school steel. it is solar powered and opens up in the morning and closes at night.
we drove up plaza july 9 which represents the day argentina got her independance. there is an oblisk there to represent this as well. the oblisk is a popular spot to celebrate soccer match wins and for protestors. in the last 24 hours i have seen no less than 3 major protests. they are very common here. the only one i could understand was greenpeace protesting the melting of the glaciers in the south....
we went to plaza de mayo and the ´rosa´ pink government building. fyi argentina has a female president right now. we saw many important statues in the city including one for the 30 000 men who went missing or were killed during the last military dictatorship, evita, the headless man
