Ahh...finally a break! I decided to take it easy this weekend and kept my schedule open for lots of rest and leisurely walks around my neighborhood to find the necessities: grocery store and a laundromat. On Saturday, my roomie and I stocked up on fruits and snacks at the nearest Carrefour (much like a Vons/Ralphs) to fill the gap between the breakfast and dinners provided with our homestay.
Later we strolled down to the Feria de Recoleta (flea market), only a few blocks away by Cementerio de Recoleta I had mentioned in a previous blog, to check out the local music and various vendors.
Venturing a few blocks north, we ran into Facultad de Derecho (law school) and the blooming metallic flower sculpture Floralis Generica. It was designed by Argentine architect Eduardo Catalano as a symbol of "hope for the country's new spring".
