Hey dear friends!
This past Saturday, in my country the May 25 holiday was celebrated, in commemoration of our Argentine national day and we went to celebrate with one of my best friends. 💙🤍💙 ---
As forward to the beginning of this post, this Saturday, May 25, here in Argentina we celebrate the day of the homeland, due to the revolution of May 1810 that presided over our first national government. We are currently going through an extremely cold autumn and it is cloudy almost every day, but just this Saturday, very early, a beautiful warm sun came out that practically forced us to leave the house to enjoy the beautiful day. Although the cold did not stop, feeling the warm rays of the sun on our faces encouraged us to approach the center of our neighborhood, where it was certain that an event would be held in commemoration of this important day.
We left home around 10 in the morning, the bus took a long time since it was a holiday, and public transportation runs infrequently, but the good thing is that, once we got on, it only took us 15 minutes to get there. center.
When we arrived, there were already many people in the main square and on the busiest avenue, which was blocked by the parade of all our armed forces.
The parade had already started and the entire place was full of flags, speakers and screens that showed each group of uniformed people who paraded down the catwalk with great grandeur and pride.
I do not intend nor do I like to talk about politics, but these are the times we are living in as a country, where our culture, education, resources and laws that protect our lands are being increasingly vulnerable and devalued, it is even more exciting to hear from our people. gathered together and loudly singing our national anthem with emotion and pride and hugging each other.
I arrived just to take photos of the military helicopter that flew right over us at an incredibly close distance, it seemed as if by just gaining momentum and jumping very high, I could touch it.
That helicopter was the opening for the vehicles of our different armed forces to begin parading. I would love to be able to describe them and tell you about each of the forces and what those vehicles were for, but on that matter I could be ignorant 😅. In fact, one of the last trucks had a kind of ball on its back, no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't even imagine what that would be for, but anyway, seeing it pass in front of my eyes was very interesting.
We walked a little further with my best friend, and we arrived at the volunteer fire station and we saw that there, the same firefighters, were selling hot drinks, sweet cakes, rosettes and some other items, so we took the opportunity to buy a coffee and some portions of quince and sweet potato pasta, to warm the body a little since there was a lot of wind, and that made us even colder.
Just as we got there, it was time for our firefighters on parade. I think that was the most exciting thing, watching them walk with their heavy suits and behind them the different vehicles they use and at the same time sounding their distinctive siren. Well, they are volunteer firefighters, they do that work truly for the love of the job, without pay and that is truly admirable!
At the end of the parade, my friend and I stayed for a while in the central square, we walked through the large fair that is held there every weekend and before returning home, we decided to buy something to eat. In these types of places, I can usually only eat fries, since most of the fast food they sell usually contains meat and I am a vegetarian. But we found a stall where they sold VEGETARIAN HOTDOG, it was a big surprise for me, since I had never eaten one and it had been more than 7 years since I had eaten one of the normal ones. So we bought one for each of us, a side of fries and so, with the sun accompanying us, and our bellies full, we returned home in an excellent mood.
