The only thing on the agenda this morning was a visit to the nature preserve on the edge of town. It didn't seem far away, but the map does not take into account the frillion degrees it was outside, so the walk there was very long indeed. And while the preserve was gorgeous, it was not quite th"lovely spot for a picnic" it was touted to be - there is no grass, really. We managed to find a spot, and then moved to a bench for a while, where we were, no joke, menaced by a swarm of bees. We also brushed nature in the form of this random huge iguana that was there for no discernable reason.
The reserve was really lovely (in the shade) and fortunately, the walk back was capped off by a visit to Freddo for ice cream (it was RIGHT on the WAY). The neighborhood we were in, Puerto Madero, was really hip and ritzy - Battery Park City, in keeping with the metaphor. We may go back there for lunch, if we feel like having a power meal amongst the glass-walled lofts and the dikes of the city's old port.
Tonight it was back to Palermo Vieo for a little shopping - it was the most successful shp we've had, plus we had tapas for dinner. All in all, a good cap toa week in BA.
