Madres de la Plaza de Mayo

Although today many people are celebrating Christmas, for all practical purposes it's over here.  Most places are still closed, but as all the big events were last night, it seems pretty quiet today.

I made several calls to folks back home, wishing them a Merry Christmas, then Hugo and I went down to the Plaza de Mayo, where the Madres have been marching for 30 years.  In fact, this was their 1600th Thursday, and the judical system gave the Madres some bad news about not prosecuting one of the really bad judges, so there was a lot of press and activities at this event.  Photos to follow.

Afterwards, we went with Hugo's sister and her friend to chat more and grab a drink.  Came home, relaxed, went to dinner with Hugo at a nice restaurant in a part of Palermo I like (well, I like it because there are a lot of nice restaurants there, where there are more cafes and pizzarias here).

If I could keep the guilt to a minimum (not being with my family, not participating in giving gifts, etc.) it was actually quite a nice day.
