Buenos Aires - Ocho Dia

I am really enjoying our time here in Buenos Aires, the people are nice and everyone is beautiful and healthy looking, well except that most of them smoke. I guess everyone needs at least one vice. We decided today was going to be a light day and headed over to the Japanese Gardens and then onto La Bombadera, the home of the Boca Juniors team in Buenos Aires.
The Japanese community donated the garden to the city of Buenos Aires and though it is a little smaller than expected, it is truly scenic and wonderfully quiet.












After a lovely and serene walk through the Japanese Gardens we hoofed it to the subway to head over to La Bombadera. This trip was totally for Paul but after seeing how much people love this team and have so much pride associated with them, I fell in love as well.











After a long tour, which was totally great we headed back to the apartment to go back and forth on the "where do you want to eat" convo. Finally we realized that the reason that it took so long to decide is that we were not really hungry and that we did not have the energy to bother with a long drawn out meal.. So we went to McDonald's and then home. I have to say it was the best thing that we could have done... So tired and just wanted a night off.

The Japanese Garden is beautiful. It reminds me a little of Huntington Gardens. Hope you have a restful night and can't wait until you get home.
