yesterday after i got back from visiting the falls, i rested for a bit then went out for a little walk around the hotel. there wasn’t too much to see, as the hotel wasn’t really near anything of interest and downtown was just far enough away that i didn’t feel like investigating.

i wandered, took some pictures and then decided it was time for lunch since it was about 2 PM. (the picture above is the back of a sign in a nearby park. the back was more interesting than the front.) i stepped into the hotel lobby just as it started to rain. it hasn’t stopped since. a light rain turned into a thunder and lightening storm, and that’s what i fell asleep, and woke up to. a, “tormento de electrico”, sounds much more romantic than lightening storm doesn’t it?

i’m really glad my trip to the falls happened when it did, i’m not sure i would have enjoyed it quite as much in the rain. ok sure, i got wet during my visit there, but that was all by choice.

since it was raining all afternoon and evening, i spent some time playing around with a photo manipulation app i bought before i left. totally fun, and a good way to kill time indoors. well that, and making up my own dialogue while watching LOST in Portuguese.

this is a sculpture in Buenos Aires by the law school, called the Aluminum Flower or Flora de Aluminum. it was designed and gifted to the city by an architect after graduating; a thank you to Buenos Aires for the education.
