Mom,

This plaza is about 30 minutes by metro. It is the same plaza where the Casa Rosada (like the white house) is located. All of the protests and riots take place here...but never on sunday because everyone is too busy drinking maté (traditional tea) and shopping at the local ferias (fairs).

Love you!
