The next day we rushed to Buenos Aires to solve some business at the Romanian consulate. We took the “General Roca” train line from La Plata. After nearly one hour we arrived at Constitucion terminal in Buenos Aires. Both stations (photos 1 to 3), featuring turn of the century architecture, together with the steel and glass cover, have a true European design, in tone with the surroundings.

Being in a hurry, I just had time to take few photos en route. The city itself is a true masterpiece, with interesting statues, wide avenues and many parks. Unfortunately not as clean as Santiago de Chile, it wins at the diversity and quantity of classic (mostly mid 19th to early 20th century) buildings.

Last photo – in front of Casa Rosada; to the left a scene is organized for the festivities occasioned by the bicentennial of the independence while in the right side you can see the permanent camp of the Falklands war veterans.
