I'm now back in Buenos Aires, alarm set for 4:00 AM for the early morning flight to Ushuaia! It's happening! There's some sort of celebration going on outside my hotel. I hear cheering and a band playing. Any ideas?
Meanwhile, let me flashback to my first day in Argentina and my exploration of Buenos Aires.
The Hotel Madero, where I'm staying, is in the lower left corner of the map. I set out to go to the big park to the east. After some meandering, I got to the area abutting Laguna de los Coipos, the long narrow body of water on the west side of the park. The problem was that I couldn't get in.
"¿Habla Inglés?"
"Yes we do!"
"How do I get in where you are? All I see are locked gates all along here."
They pointed me in the direction of the main entrance, and success!!!
The Reserva Ecológica Costanera Sur is a climate refuge
which provides "a comfortable
and cool space open to the public, where you can take refuge during hot days. You
can cool off, rest for a few minutes, and then continue with your
activities."
One last bird from the eating area. The rest of the pictures that follow are from the refuge.
(1) We live in an age of wonders - a map of anywhere in the world, when you want it! (2) The photo of the trees gives me an other-worldly feeling that they're reaching to take hold of something. (Not to diminish the other photos - I appreciate them all!)
ReplyDeleteWow! I am so impressed with your sense of adventure and openness to the universe! Not to mention your gorgeous photography. Can’t wait to swap pictures, as we are flying home tomorrow from our month of circumnavigating Australia. Aren’t we lucky to see new environments? Hugs. 🌈
