Zen in BA

Yesterday we went to the Japanese Gardens in the Northern part of Bs. As.  The gardens can be reached by either bus or Sube (underground rail) and we decided to go with the bus as it gives a view of the city at the same time.  The bus was full of locals who also wanted a view of their city.  We slid into every available space and rode 59A with the other sardines.  By the time we reached our stop everyone was feeling the effects of being lurched through traffic stuck to someone else's armpit.

The Japanese Gardens are the set on five acres and feature a mix of Japanese and South American trees.   Several bridges cross the ponds allowing you to see the large koi swimming around.  It was a nice way to spend a few hours in a green space.

Our plans changed dramatically today when Talluah's mother slipped down the stairs at the apartment block we're staying in.  She gave herself a nasty cut on her arm but after we combined our medical knowledge from Grey's Anatomy, M*A*S*H and A Country Practice we realised that it wouldn't need stitching and we could fix it with butterfly bandaids and Betadine.  Today turned into  a rest day as Colleen was feeling rather bruised.
