Music On The Street - By The Wall

The band Aqualactica

This is my second trip to Argentina in the last 11 months. A business colleague and I have walked and walked around the streets in the area around our hotel - the Etoile Recoleta - this morning, afternoon, and early evening after dinner. While eating at Clark's Restaurant a-block-and-a-corner around from our hotel, a string band called Aqualactica played across the street in front of the wall surrounding the Recoleta Cemetery. A small crowd had gathered and was listening as we walked by. The band's music was soothing-to-the-ear as sitting with my feet up in my room was later this evening after lots of walking today following an eight-hour flight from JFK Airport in New York City to Buenos Aires last night. Thirty Argentine pesos - about $7.00 U.S. was a pretty good deal and an easy way to support the local arts. (1)
