Plazas, boulevards and Churches

 

Buenos Aries is cut through by several wide boulevards, and I do mean wide.  Avenue July Ninth is reputedly the widest in the world.  It has six lanes of traffic going in each direction  and a wide  grassy median down the center.  It is named after the successful revolution of 1816.  There are a lot of open green spaces  filled with people relaxing.

And people whose parents probably wish they were walking.

Photos of parks 

There are several cathedrals, but all are of recent construction. They are certainly intense   in their representations of Christ

Buenos Aires-6168

But it is Mary who they pray to and apparently dress in endless costumes.
