ARGENTINA: A FEW FOR THE ROAD
Next post we're back home and on to something new. But let's close Argentina/Buenos Aires with shots from three gardens and the zoo. The Botanical Gardens is set between major multi-lane downtown streets. But one step inside and your shoulders drop:
Another peaceful spot? The Japanese Garden in the park along the waterfront:
And the small garden enclosed by our hotel, the Melia Recoleta:
I have very mixed feelings about zoos, but this is very open air and spacious. they also let you feed the animals a special mixture prepared by the zoos vets.
Last but not not least, a little sparrow that had a crumb from one of my many MANY Freddo's Dolce de Leche ice creams.
Next time -- something completely different. Hope to see you here,
Allan
