The first full day of spring in Buenos Aires
and the davis cup semi-final has been halted by rain...
Out my front window, 5:30 p.m., Friday
yesterday was the first day of spring in the southern hemisphere and i learned something new about life here in buenos aires... as i headed to the train yesterday morning, i was aware of dozens and dozens of young people headed there with me, a few carrying musical instruments and others carrying full backpacks, but they weren't headed to school... i found out later that the tradition on the first day of spring is for kids, parents, teens, everyone, in fact, to head to the parks for picnics, and then to buy bouquets of flowers on the way home... cool, huh...? it was a gorgeous day, but, today, the clouds rolled in and, right now, we are having the first rain of spring, and the first we've seen for a number of weeks... a nice change...
