Buenos Aires!

I couldn`t have arrived in Buenos Aires at a more exciting time. I took the ferry from Colonia, Uruguay to Buenos Aires the day of the 10 year census so everything was closed to count people. On top of that former President and husband of the current President, Nestor Krichner died. It would be the equivalent of Hillary Clinton being President and then Bill dying but add in some Latin American passion and you get one of the most exciting experiences of my life.

10,000s of people were flocking to the Presidents house to show last respects. Then there were 10,000s of protesters from different groups marching around the city spray painting everything and causing a ruckus in the streets. Of course we joined in and got right into the middle of it all.

 

It continued for 2 more days and nights. We spent some time marching with the socialists, the communists, and other unknown groups. The most exciting group was shooting off fireworks, chanting, and just full of energy into the night supporting who knows what and we stuck with them. Very exciting time to be in Argentina!
