2 guys we met outside of trainstations in retiro, they were soooooo nice compare to the next 2 little boys we met...ahh!
the parrots lived in these trees in nests nade out of old vines, you can kind of see some in one, popping their heads out of the hole, very well built nests, they had a very parrot sounding call too
green parrots on the ground, called loros(slang name)
this is the boat from a bridge
the crows nest
knots!!!! lots of them!!!
a very old scuba mask and tube, one of the first i am guessing, they could breath and talk through this
this is the description of the torpedo, ayaya
this is the obelisco, similar to the washington monument, we marched here from congressowe marched on to la casa rosada, picture taken through my sunglasses, this is how everythig looked to me, i love these sunglasses!the police stationed behind a fence that was infront of la casa rosada, with their shields just in case, but everything was very peaceful and organized, probably 1000 in march i would guessi found an old ship and climbed aboard, we could explore everywhere, it was free, like a ship museum, this was a torpedo mounted toward the front of the shipan old picture of sailors on the ship when it was in use
i joined the march for about an hour, why not? it marched past the obelisco and ended at la casa rosada(pink house, compare to white house)
i heard drums and ofcourse followed and discovered this march/protest. they were chanting about las trabajadores(the workers) and how big companies are closing, job loses, and rights of workers.
