Reserva Ecológica Costanera Sur

This week's touristy attraction for the blog is biking around the Ecological Reserve I mentioned in the Puerto Maderno post. It was a lot of fun and our first chance to get some exercise since we've been here (aside from walking for hours). I really wanted to get out of the house and get some fresh air too since I had dysentery all week. If you were wondering why there hadnt been any other updates this week, that's why.

This is from the back of the reserve. I thought the city through the swamp was a nice juxatposition. The big building being constructed in the front is in Puerto Maderno. The tall building on the right are in Barrio Norte (sort of a rich area and sort of the Silicon Barrio too). And the lower building in the middle are downtown.


This was our first time really seeing the "river". Even though we've been here for over two weeks we still hadn't really seen it. And it's not even really a river. It's a bay! But whatever, it's brown in any case.






There was this cool little turtle tank where you could literally reach out and touch about a dozen turles at once.
