We visited a new city last weekend, La Plata. It is about an hour south of Buenos Aires. We rode the train down to the city and toured around the center region. There is a beautiful cathedral and large park. We went to a festival outside of the large cathedral, lots of games and kids playing. We continued on to the park where there is a zoo, a lake, and a beautiful Natural History Museum, which we visited on Sunday. The city is designed on a perfect grid with 4 diagonal streets coming from the center. All the street names are numbers either Avenues or Streets depending on north and south orientation. It has a lot of very old, beautiful buildings, because it is actually the capital of the province of Buenos Aires. We rode the bus back to Buenos Aires. They are really comfortable and clean with reclining seats. It was nice to get our of the big city and see a little of the countryside of Argentina. We began teaching the advanced level of English learners this week in our TEFL program. We have one more week of training.
