Buenos Aires 3.
My Sunday started with a bit of extra time in bed in the morning. I went to the Center for Human Rights, where there are some permanent exhibitions about the terror of the military junta between 1974-1983, including a museum about the Falkland-conflict. Fortunately some of it were open air, because - it turned out on site - every state museum were closed due to the local elections... So I spent my day walking in parks and on the streets of Buenos Aires. I took a bus to have a look at the genius Floralis Genérica sculpture, visited the Recoleta district with the tomb of Evita Perón. After I crossed a big artisanal Sunday market, where I bought a nice belt made of real cow-leather for 10 USD. And a big portion of freshly squeezed orange juice. Then I walk on the Avenida Corientes full of theatres, shows and operas. After I visited the Torre Monumental, which was originally the Torre de los Ingleses, because British immigrants built it to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Argentinean independence, but was renamed after the Falkland war. At night I went out for dinner with a professor of the University of Buenos Aires.
About the local elections: the peronista-kirchnerist party of the President Christina Fernandez-Kirchner lost heavily and became third in Buenos Aires and in the second biggest Argentinean city Córdoba as well, after two rightwing-conservative (a moderate and a radical) parties. It seems that the people are had enough of the Kirchner family during the last 12 years. However we have to wait until the October's presidential elections to draw conclusions.
