A perfect Autumn day..... so we decided to get out of the apartment and head up north of the city and spend some time by the river. We caught the No.29 bus all the way out to Acassuso Station we the walked down to Las Barrancas Station which is on the Tren de la Costa line, some 12 blocks. Brad managed this so well. We had lunch at Las Barrancas station. The train station has been converted to an out door "collector's market", rather fun. We then wandered down to Peru Beach and the river. I am always so embarrassed to be part of the human race when I see the filth and pollution that we leave behind to destroy our waterways... The Rio de la Plata is so polluted - it is a disgrace!!! On one side of the peer are yachts worth a bloody fortune and on the other side a shore line that is nothing more than a rubbish dump!! No one really seems to give a damn, always blaming someone else - no one ever takes any responsibility. It's easy - just take your garbage home with you and dispose of it correctly - no real rocket science!!!!!!
Well what is Easter here like?
There are loads of chocolate Easter Eggs everywhere - but not a hot cross bun in sight!!! Although 92% of the population are Catholic, only 2% are practicing so today was much like a Sunday, some stores were open, restaurants, coffee shops and cinemas were also open. Banks and major commerce closed. Great, another 2 days off before back to work on Monday.
Happy Easter Everyone!
