Today's weather was quite Spring-like. Sunny aand warm. Dave and I decided we will check our the Palermo Zoological Gardens because we are bored and looking for things to do. Fortunately, it was closed on Mondays!
We took off on Sarmiento Avenue towards Liberatore Avenue in search of adventure. Really, we wanted to find the tulip sculpture that opens and follows the sun. We hoofed it around Parque Feb 3 and passed the Japonese Gardens again. Crossing the street towards LIberatore, we came across an upscale shopping center containing what appears to be a super Walmart type store. It was called the Plaza Cheeky. They had the best foods that I have seen to date in BA. Produce was fresh, meat was plentiful and gorgeous, and the wine selection was huge. I tried to take a few pictures but was told to stop. Maybe they were afraid that clients would be photographed?
We then were still looking for the tulip, so we walked toward the dock area and ended up in a section of town that I would not recommend. It was an area where ships are unloaded with their containers and contained a "technical park" that appeared to be rather non-technical. However, we did find a par three executive golf course during our tour. We then back tracked to Liberatore avenue, walked towards downtown looking for the tulip. After about ten miles, we decided to get on the subte and call it a day. It turns out that we missed the damned tulip by a block. It is located on Liberatore Avenue across from the Japonese Gardens. We happened to turn the wrong direction. However, it was still and interesting day.
