Avenida Rivadavia 5

Now you think probably did a Lourdes picture come in between? Well this is also something on Avenida Rivadavia. There is a Colegio de Lourdes on it (obviously a Catholic school). Next to it is a paroquia dedicated to the Virgin Mary. This is a kind of a shrine outside dedicated to her. You always find people there for a prayer. I was lucky there was no one there at that specific moment.

What is also nice to mention. If you are in the bus and you pass for example this spot you will see people making a cross. Also folks walking buy or in cars.

Avenida Rivadavia 4

Just a nice view Westbound on Avenida Rivadavia. My guess is that this is about 15 blocks from the house.

Avenida Rivadavia 3

This is the girls school (the overexposure behind the tree :P) called Dr. Dámaso Centeno. It's a social-military institute. This doesn't mean military drills and that kind of stuff but it has connections to the military. That expresses itself in outings to military facilities sometimes. It also in a way gives a more stricter set of rules in the school to be able to deal better with the future. And yes it happens often that it is an entry for children to enter the military. But also many go absolute different ways.

Avenida Rivadavia 2

This is Primera Junta. A small square and you are looking at the entrance to the Subway. This is also the End or beginning (depends of point of view) of Linea A. In not so long this will not be the end point. Probably this will be ready in 2007. Some stations have been added Westbound. I believe the last one will end at Avenida Nazca. This is not so far from home. This also means the option to choose Line A or Line E to go downtown. More choice.

Avenida Rivadavia 1

We go back in the direction of home (Westbound) on Avenida Rivadavia. This is a new mall and includes C&A. A fashion chain you find in many countries.

Parque Rivadavia 8

A last shot at the park from Avenida Rivadavia. As you can see there is much to buy as well. You will find these kind of merchandise along most of the Avenue actually. Some spots more pronounced than others. People have to eat don't they?

Avenida Pueyrredón y Plaza Miserere

This is from Avenida Pueyrredón looking towards Avenida Rivadavia. Avenida Pueyrredón is also a main artery of the city (East-West). You can also see on the right the entrance to the subway station Linea A. Linea H which is under construction will also stop here at a 90 degree angle shortening the travel for many passengers in the future. I also put here again the map of the subway system so you can orient a bit where the Plaza is. As you can see it is quite a central place in the city. If you want to read about the Subte (Subway) i made a post last month already. See here.
