Pasada de la ISS aproximadamente media hora después de la puesta en el Río de la Plata, casi perfectamente de noroeste a sudeste: apogeo a las 18:56 en mi longitud (58 oeste).

Las coordenadas enlazadas son para un punto al sur del partido de La Plata; la visibilidad mejorará hacia el este por estar el cielo ya más oscuro, de modo que no me comprometo a decir nada sobre Chile y centro y noroeste de Argentina. Además cada cual sabrá qué cobertura nubosa sufre, pero el satélite me dice que las hemos tenido peores.

Perdón por no avisar de la gloriosa órbita de anoche, la disfruté en magnífica soledad (?)

Our visit to Buenos Aires in 2016 coincided with the arrival of the President for the opening of parliament. As a result there were road closures throughout the capital both to facilitate the arrival of official vehicles and to keep the large protest groups away. Our tour that should have largely been by bus ended up being largely on foot through wide roads in the capital city devoid of traffic and often with barricades of police in the distance. A slightly surreal but enjoyable experience.

This is Casa Rosada- the "Pink House" - the Argentine president's official workplace, located at one end of Plaza de Mayo. We never saw any trouble and the police didn't care about couples, individuals, or our obvious tourist group wandering around and passing through barricades. We also didn't see any use of the numerous water cannons that had been set up along one side-street.
