Demonstrations and a rainy Buenos Aires

Esqina Carlos Calvo y Perú, Buenos Aires on a rainy Friday afternoon

As it was raining all day, I had time to finish my  book - it's been a while since I had the time to just relax and read. Penzi stated that whenever I talk too much or when I bug him too much he will buy me a book, because then he can do whatever he wants and I won't even notice... ;) Anyway, the book was great and I really enjoyed reading it!

Der Gefangene des Himmels (Carlos Ruíz Zafón)
Besides me being happy about having the time to read again, yesterday evening Buenos Aires was the venue of big protest rallys against president Kirchner. Thousands marched against the Argentine goverment and president Kirchner because of the corruption in the country, inflation and a further canditature of Kirchner in 2015.
