A Quiet day out in BA

We had been wondering about why nobody was shopping...thousands of people were in the streets, demonstrating to remind people of the 25th March 1977 the day the military took over the country in a coup d'etat and ruled during what is now called 'the dirty war'. In those days more than 30 000 people were killed and up to today noone has been made accountable for that.

Becky and Lindsay did not want to come downstairs from the hostel because it was 'too dangerous'. 'Too dangerous'? I mean, what was going to happen? We really enjoyed the action and sat down in a cafe outside our hostel and had a couple of glasses of wine, taking pictures and watching the people.

In the evening we switched on BBC world and watched a report on Buenos Aires where riots had taken place down the street from us, in the Aveninda de Mayo.

Well, the wine was fantastic.
