Av. 9 de Julio

Wide isn't it?

And that's just half of it. Incredibly tired. Did in fact walk the whole city, but it was nice. Weather a bit cooler. Found all the parks, relevant cross streets, subte stops, and malls. Bought some music, though what I really need is clothes. And, at one point, found myself in the middle of a movie shoot (so I crossed the street).

BA is interesting, it appears to have a lot of stuff, a lot of pomp, but it really doesn't. Big shops, with limited stock. Big buildings, with not much in them. Lots of "show," but not as much substance as you'd expect. It's certainly big and there are a lot of people, but doing what I'm not sure. It's a lovely city, but if I had to choose between Santiago de Chile and BA, I'd probably go for Santiago and Chile, generally. It's nicer, cleaner, more manageable, more sophisticated, more substantial and more beautiful all round.

No running for me today. I'm d-o-n-e.
