I arrived in Buenos Aires yesterday afternoon. During the short ride from the airport, after 24 hours of traveling, I was thinking about my first activity the next day. After a tasty dinner -- which of course included steak!!!! -- I decided to rest for the night. My first stop was going to be "The Plaza de mayo" and "Las madres de plaza de mayo."

Today, it was raining a lot. I left the apartment with the objective of going to El museo del bicentenario which has a permanent small exhibit on the Dirty War. After spending a couple hours there, I decided to go and meet the Madres de la plaza de mayo. Unfortunately, the rain was hard and only a few of them attended the permanent demonstration. However, I was able to talk to one woman to learn more about her goals and desire to know where her disappeared child is. Also, I made a video (coming soon) of the tiles around the city that people installed to remember all of the war prisoners and the disappeared. Tomorrow, I will visiting two of the former detention camps.
