The second week of classes felt more familiar and we are starting to fall into a good routine. Moreover, this past Friday March 24th was El Día de la Memoria por la Verdad y la Justicia (Day of Remembrance for Truth and Justice). The holiday commemorates the victims of the dictatorship and this date marked 47 years. People from all over the country came to the streets to march with attire, flags, banners, and balloons. There was chanting, singing, dancing, applause, and so many emotions.
Over the weekend we traveled north of the city to Tigre, a town along the river of the delta. The train ride was an experience in itself with a spontaneous performance, various live advertisements, and snack vendors. We ate Argentine food, explored the Puerto de Frutos craft market, and toured the water by boat. Lastly, the next day in the city we wandered around El Jardín botánico (Botanical Garden) and El Rosedal (Rose Gardens).
