Buenos Aires T+10 - Saturday

Posted by JohnP 04/19/2008 at 08:04

As I write this on Saturday morning, I’m only tired from being out late, not from being up all night with noise. There’s a small bedroom away from the street – close the door and most of the city noise is gone. Put in some earplugs – yawn – wake up hours and hours later. A good night of sleep.

With the bad smoke covering the city, we decided to take it relatively easy today and do a little shopping. Nothing purchased other than lunch. The early photos show how bad the visibility was – so do the late photos of the Obelisk just a few blocks away.

Sorry about the porn shop photo. I couldn’t help myself.
HSBC – huh, you ask? I never noticed that bank until Hong Kong. Since then, it shows up at least once for every trip.

We were invited out to dinner – Armenian – tonight. I was told a few times to not eat breakfast or any snacks all day. A light day was needed for 2 reasons. Lots of food and I have to be at the airport very early on Sunday morning. Sunday will be a very full day, hiking, being soaked, checking into a hotel, moonlight tour of the falls, then back to the hotel around midnight. Up early on Monday for more hiking, lunch and finally back to the airport for the flight back to BA. It is doubtful I’ll have any internet access in Iguazu.
