Today Mike and I started doing field work setting up the logistics of the trip. We need to reserve hotel rooms and get prices on activities that the group can do on the weekend and at the end of the work project.
So how’s the best way to get a feel for a foreign city? Simple, start walking., which is what we did. Buenos Aires (BA) is a large “world” city. It is very active, reasonably clean and has an air of life about it.
The street that needs to be walked is Florida St. It is a mall, no motorized traffic, that is lined with commercial stores. There are vendors that set themselves up in the middle of the mall on some blocks. Anything and everything is for sale.
In Argentina (South America) it would be considered the equivalent of May in the USA. The weather was beautiful. While Buenos Aires does get a winter like the norther US, it was still apparent that people were enjoying the “spring” weather.
