Boating Clubs

Boating Clubs in Buenos Aires are similar to Country Clubs in the US. Fenced in and guarded from the surrounding community, most clubs tend to hug the "Rio de la Plata" river. There, boats await to be used by those who inhabit the lovely houses, hence the name Boating Clubs. Like in many parts of the world, these luxurious homes are rather close to less pleasant neighborhoods. This propinquity ensures that residents must know about the different lifestyles that exist. Does this knowledge spur people to take action? I would think so, but where does one find the progress that is being made?

There are little houses with guards inside around the neighborhood, to ensure safety. I think that's pretty nifty.

Went to my first grocery store today, just for kicks. I loved it, even though there was no peanut butter to be found amidst an entire row of jelly/jam!

Also went to downtown Buenos Aires on a bus tour with my program! That was awesome! More on that big adventure soon!
