La Plaza de Mayo

I snapped these three shots after class this afternoon - The first is
the Casa Rosa, which is basically the Argentine White House and the
anchor of the southern end of la Plaza de Mayo. The Plaza, which is
the largest in Argentina, was developed to commemorate Argentina's
independence from Spain. Today, Los Madres de los Desparacidos march
in the Plaza every Thursday as a continued protest against the
government's kidnapping, jailing, and execution of 30,000 citizens
between 1976 and 1983.
