Christmas morning in Buenos Aires - the morning after the night before

following up on yesterday's post, after eating my fill and watching the horde of kids demolish the leftovers, the clock struck midnight and all hell broke loose... it was impossible to walk 10 ft. down the street without tripping over someone lighting a fuse... and we're not talking sparklers and bottle rockets either... these are some industrial-size units, lemme tell ya, with firecrackers that explode with a noise i hadn't heard since i was a kid when you could still buy silver salutes in the u.s...

today, at noon, people are starting to get up and move around, joining friends and family for the big mid-afternoon meal... the weather is gorgeous as it often is - upper-70s/low-80s, brilliant blue sky, cool breeze, the sun glinting off of the deep green leaves on the trees, birds singing, flowers blooming...

again, merry christmas everybody...!
