Well, the bi-centennial festivities are getting into full swing. The Pink House is all lit up, there are displays and a food booth for every part of Argentina. Below are some of the photos taken yesterday.
9 de Julio and Av de Mayo
Concerts, food, and fun for all. It seems the entire country is here in my neighborhood to party. I wish my camera were better.
Plaza de Mayo: The Pink House (which is the President's home/workplace)

Directly across the plaza from the Pink House is the Cabildo. Watching the changing of the guards complete with the firing of colonial weaponry.
I have not even begun to explore the extent of what has been elaborated to celebrate this grand event, and I'm not sure how much they spent on all this but, for a culture with many problems, people are saying the money could have gone to better use elsewhere.
