One interesting facet of Argentinian life is that it seems that at least several groups are conducting some sort of demonstration somewhere in the city on any given day. This past week we had Subway workers, teachers, and textile workers demonstrating. There were others that I didn't catch who was demonstrating for what reason. That just seems to be a part of life here.
What I didn't do this week was take a lot of pictures. I did walk over to the Plaza right across the street from the office one day. It is larger than I thought, and is centered with one of those enormous rubber trees that are so common here. Here they are:
 |
| The Marriott Plaza Hotel |
 |
| On the opposite side of the Plaza, looking back towards the office. |
 |
| Military Museum behind the trees. |
 |
| View to the North |
 |
| Every Park needs a statue of a guy on a horse. I'm guessing this one is named San Martin. |
 |
| Looking towards the Bell Tower and Ports behind. |
 |
| Trees in the Plaza. In the center is the big rubber tree. |
 |
| Bark Park in the Plaza. Argentine doggies spend the day here while their Masters work. |
 |
| Looking back towards the office. Very odd traffic flow on the street, with lanes reversed.Actually, it is two different one-way streets running side by side. |
