Spring will be springing officially here on Thursday, and the secondary school students get the day off because... erm I suppose to encourage scholarly appreciation of all things springy (Slinky class at 3pm on the steps anyone?)... I have no idea why other than the beginning of Spring is a big deal. There are parades and it's traditional to have picnics.

I also learned a new definition of Spring.

It's when the maximum temperature is over 25C instead of around 20C.

Well that's what it seems like. It was another cloudless day and we headed off to Los Bosques de Palermo (literally the forests of Palermo, in reality the parks). About half of the population had the same idea so there were a fair few people lounging about, playing football, drinking mate, eating choripan. Very relaxing.  ¶ 10:27 PM
