Sangre

Oi, what a day. My feet are killing me...reason: I wore new shoes and could not find a pair of cheap flip flops, thus i ended up bleeding a lot behind my heels and new blisters galore. Ew, that put a halt on my day's progress and was not the best for my mood. However, I was able to go forward and make it to the Cementerio de Recalota. One of the most amazing cemeteries I have seen in my life. All of the sculptures and tombs looked as if they belonged in a Church in Italia or where made for something else. So many amazing sculptures to look upon, I was there around 12ish and could only handle the heat for so long. With only one spot for shade, I ran to my next adventure.

After taking some time to relax my feet (they only just began to bleed and it was only my right foot) in a cafe, where I enjoyed a licuado a duranzo with tostada, I headed to el Museo Nacional de Bella Artes. Free museum! Spent almost 3 hours in that thing, there were only two floors but so many rooms and so much art. It was very interesting to see it in a semi progression. Because the first floor began more towards Renaissance, Enlightenment, and than moving forward until the second floor contained more modern and than even way more contemporary/abstract pieces.

Going out of the Museo I headed towards the Flor de Metal which was a gift to Buenos Aires and was HUGE. All silver plated, reflecting my white skin that did not need any more exposure to the sun and surrounded by flowing water. A very cool sight to see on a street bustling with cars.

A long walk later with feet newly bleeding on both sides I made it to Jardin Japone, or Japanese Gardens that were also right off the street. A huge garden area, with Koi swimming all around the water, bridges to cross and see where they go. Nice benches all over the place, a beaver family strolling for food. It was a nice location to just stop and relax, especially since I gave up on walking. It is the worst to stop walking with blisters, because than you feel the pain and can't get back into walking. The only thing I wish this garden had was perhaps a wall to block off the view of the many cars zooming pass and the noise of traffic. Than it would have been purely amazing.
