happy canada day from buenos aires

i have spent the past couple of days walking around the city of buenos aires. there is no shortage of things to do or see. i am surprised how much the city reminds me of western europe. cobblel stone streets, cafés, and pedestrian streets. oh yah ... the pigeons too. everywhere you go, people are out number 1:5 to these stupid birds. small children are fascinated by the birds. they are feeding them, chasing them, and throwing things at them. myself, i would have no hard feelings if i punted one of the birds as i walked down a street! its not nice to say, but it is the truth. i have not become accustom to the birds between your feet or flying at your head. come to think about it, i dont want to become accustomed to the stupid birds. i will simply put up with them until i return home.


today, i have come across no shortatge of canadians in buenos aires. there is a large number of canadian flags on display in the retiro district. actually there is a canada day celebration/party tonight at kilkenny`s pub (conveniently just 3 blocks from my apartment). i have been told that all televisions will be tuned into the canada-chile soccer game from toronto. they are also serving traditional canadian cuisine ... although i am not sure what canadian traditionally cuisine is? it should be a good time none the less. happy canada day from buenos aires.
