A typical tourist day in Buenos Aires

Another lovely day in Buenos Aires.  We lunched from a guide book recommendation, shopped for souvenirs, took in the sights and ran into a protest.

It is quite normal for Argentines to start a protest, anytime, anywhere. Yesterday, Traveling Gals got a chance to see one develop.  A big one.  Thousands of activists turned out in protest of a shooting death during a violent show down the day prior. We only saw the beginning of the protest as we thought it was a good idea to get out of their way.  After all, some of the protesters were masked and carrying police batons.

Later, thousands of protestors gathered in Plaza de Mayo, the same square where thousands gathered to show support of the (in)famous Perons.
