La Madre Naturaleza, finalmente

For a big city, BA has an impressive amount of trees and parks, but it's loud, crazy and busy.  After many miles of pounding the pavement we needed a break.  Our feet cried for a rest from the tiled sidewalks and our minds ached for space from the noise.  Except for the kitchen sink when doing laundry, we hadn't seen a body of water for days.  We were more than ready for nature so we headed to the Reserva Ecológia Costanera Sur.  It's a huge nature preserve in BA and encompasses the Rio de Plata, but if the skyscrapers weren't within eye-shot you'd never guess 13 million people were nearby.  Aaaaaahhhhh.  Finally.  Nature.  Our home. 

After we returned from a fabulous day in nature, Mother's show did not end.  We were treated to a fabulous lightning and thunderstorm.  Loved it!
