Yesterday I took an impromptu trip to Luján, a city close to Buenos Aires. Luján is known for its religious past: one day, many moons ago, a man was traveling with several statues of the Virgin Mary (among other goods, presumably). Then the wagon got stuck and the only way he could get it to move was by removing one particular statue, which apparently was a sign to build a giant cathedral and found a city. The city of Luján. Clearly, I'm a little skeptical about this motivation for building a city, but the overall effect is rather nice.
Unfortunately, although Luján is very close to Buenos Aires, it ended up taking 5 hours of travel each way... in the end quite the labor-intensive day trip. Nevertheless it was very fun and a very pretty city (nice call, Virgin!). I love impromptu day trips.

The Church of McDonald's. In the name of the Big Mac, the Nuggets, and the Fries, Amen.
Impressive central plaza.
