After Rosanna cooked a delicious breakfast we walked to the Cathedral for the noon Mass. The church is elegant from the exterior but inside it's absolutely gorgeous with alcoves decorated with 24k gold and ornate statues and icons everywhere. Rosanna and I were very impressed with the beautiful singing during the service - then as we exited we found a sign on the gate advertising the choir from the Western Washington University Concert Choir. It was the choir who performed at the service. The sign indicated that following the noon service the choir would present a half hour concert so we found Ron who was waiting for us and went back into the church. The concert was a touching experience. The choir consists of 36 singers, all from Washington University in Bellingham. This is another example of what a small world we live in when you can be in Buenos Aires and listen to a choir from about 100 miles from where you live.
After the concert we walked about 100 feet to enter the Sunday craft fair that is held outdoors in the Plaza. We met some very talented artists who do all the work by hand (yes, I bought some stuff - you knew that I would!). It's been a great day so far.
Now we're back to the apartment to read, listen to music and think ahead to where we'll have dinner.
Yes - another hard day in B/A. and for me, only two more days to go. Ron and Rosanna still have 9 days before they return home.
