After the Botanical Gardens, it was off to the Parque 3 de Febrero. This is the capital's most popular park. The park is famous for it Rosendal (rose garden), which feature over 12 000 rose bushes. It is really rather stunning the colours of the roses and of course the scent is awesome. Over the weekends the park fills up with local residents. The health fanatics cycle or jog on the path. Families picknick or enjoy the man made lake...
Visited the Museo de Artes Plasticas Eduardo Sivori, an interesting exhibition of lithographs. Decided to have lunch at the garden cafe in the gallery. The setting was much nicer than the food or the service. The coffee was good though. After lunch just decided to wander. Walked around Palermo found a gigantic superstore. I have never seen anything so huge in my life. It has everything from DIY, to garden, to furniture, to groceries, to clothing - absolutely everything. I am sure that if it is not there it doesn't exsist! Found the wine from last night, and bought a bottle -finca El Portillo (chardonnay), it cost $17 peso a bottle.
Made my own supper of roast chicken and roast veg, washed down with a glass of vino! fantastic.
Life is Good..........
