Argentina has many national holidays
Today is a national holiday in Argentina. I’m not certain, but I think it’s a day to commemorate the birthday of the man who designed the Argentina flag, or something. I could enter a Google search and learn the reason myself, but I’m too lazy. A day off mid-week would be nice, but I work for a company with American clients so I have to be accessible, unfortunately. I did manage to take a walk this morning and snapped some photographs around the barrio of Belgrano.
Speaking about holidays, Argentina has a lot of them. The president randomly selects days throughout the year for Argentines to rest and relax. It doesn’t make a lot of sense, because she takes and gives them away from year to year. It’s so schizophrenic that I have panic attacks. I’ve actually woken up and wondered why the grocery stores are closed, and then realize that it’s a holiday. Fascinating, huh? Okay, I gotta work. Chau!
I possess great compassion and seek to be of service to others. 
interesting and love the pics
Thanks.
I noticed a ton of holidays when I was in South America as well. Here in Russia, I see the same thing, although apparently this is nothing in comparison to all the holidays they got in Soviet times (which the older generation looks back on fondly).
I like the selection of photos, too. Definitely not your standard tourist fare. But then you know Buenos Aires too well for that anyway.
I try to take photos of things that I seen on a normal day, which are rarely very nice! Ha!
