Hi all...
I've been in Buenos Aires for since Saturday evening and it's been a great experience. Sunday we had a bus tour of the main barrios of the city: Congresso, Monserrat, San Telmo, La Boca, Palermo, Retiro and Recolleta. Some great sites and many wonderful stories.
Today was another day devoted to human rights. We met one of the mothers of the Plaza de Mayo. She lost a son to the military dictorship in 1975. What's particularly interesting is how these mothers have come together and organized. Of course they're a bit of an international phenomenon at this point. Still their resolve, their commitment to the memory of their children is moving.
I've recorded some video footage which trys to capture the story a little more directly. Let's see if this works. It's just me doing a narrative, about 9 mins.
(ok... the video posting doesn't seem to work right now, I'll try again soon)

Se dice "Providencia".
La Ley de Amnestía ya no vale mucho después de que la Corte Suprema proclamó mucho de esa nulo. Igual en Argentina.
¿Dónde están las fotos de las buenas mozas chilenas y argentinas que has conocido en tu visita? ¿O te asusta que te haría Pam?
Ich hoffe, ich bin nicht aus der Reihe getantzt, mein Schatz.
Hola Heino...
ok, you caught me at my weakness, which is still understanding Spanish. though I'm better reading that hearing.
No photos of Chilean or Argentine women from this gaucho. I'm afraid I'm out of that league.
Anyway, I know the Amnesty Law has had some very practical problems. Still I'm impressed with how both countries are coming to grips with very difficult pasts.
Gracias por tu commente!
