WEDNESDAY 03/24/10
March 24th was recently recognized as the National Day of Remembrance for Truth and Justice, as a reminder of the last coup d’étate on March 24, 1976. This was the second time that Peron was ousted and this time replaced by a dictatorship that lasted until December 10, 1983. It was the era when 30,000 of Argentina’s educated, intellectual class ‘disappeared’ for speaking out against the regime.

Due to it being a national holiday and many businesses being closed, Marisa, Ariel, Angela and I decided to go for a little walk around the neighborhood to pass out folletos (brochures) advertising Marisa’s reiki classes. (People are often handing out fliers quarter the size of a piece of paper, and I always wondered how many passerbys actually accepted them and from there, if anyone really reads them, but it turns out Marisa got a new client a few days later!)

My friend, Fernando, came into Buenos Aires from the U.S. on his way back home in Posadas, Misiones, so we got together, and instead of going to the huge march occurring in the center of the city, we took the relaxing option for the holiday and went to the Bosques de Palermo with Flor to drink some mate and watch people doing some samba and capoiera. The three of us had some dinner in Plaza Armenia and then went to a jazz club in Plaza Serrano. A very relaxing day “off”!
