The streets were very, very full -- and this is a very wide street, at 14 or maybe 18 lanes, depending on how you count
The Last Supper: Jesus has an asado (Argentine BBQ) -- kind of a weird choice for a government-sponsored decoration
The rather creepy and overdone display I referred to earlier
The streets were packed. I came back a few times later in later days, thinking I could see more of the various displays when fewer people were out. Each time the streets were even more full. On the actual day of the bicentenario (Tuesday), it took me a half-hour to cross the Avenida 9 de Julio.
And my favorite, the sometimes-fierce guardian of the parking garage next to our apartment, the dog Marty and I have named "Quilmes" (as he seems to always be hosting a small party featuring the national beer):
All dressed up for the occasion, with his very own chair, too
That Last Supper is truly bizarre. But I like the dog.
ReplyDeleteWhat are the people in the street doing? Watching something? listening? talking? singing? just standing there?
ReplyDeleteDumb question? Well, I guess I'm not into going out just to 'go about'. But in any case, it doesn't look like these people can GO anywhere! So what happens out there ... ?
(I like the dog, too.)
BBQ for the last supper - I always pegged Jesus as a vegan...
ReplyDeleteChester and Omar like the dog ;-)
Quilmes = Talcahuano Heart-throb. Period.
