Chapter 15: Swimming

Seeing that the plane was getting higher and higher from the ground, Li Suyun looked down through the glass window on the plane, the roads and houses on the ground were getting smaller and smaller, and his field of vision was getting wider and wider.

And as the plane continued to climb, gradually straight into the sky, at first the outside of the clouds and mist enchanting, feeling into the heavenly palace, but after the plane passed through the clouds, into the uppermost atmosphere, Li Suyun looked down from the window, only to see a layer of thick clouds under the plane slowly moving, in the sunlight, golden light, everything is as beautiful as a dream.

At this moment, the plane has reached the predetermined altitude and begins to fly smoothly. Li Suyun saw that some passengers left their seats and went to the toilet, and their bodies no longer felt weightless, such casualness and riding environment were basically the same as the feeling she felt when she took the high-speed train before.

At this time, Li Suyun took out his mobile phone that had been set to airplane mode, and began to take pictures through the glass window of the plane. ”

Jiang Jianlong saw that she was so happy to take pictures, he also took out his mobile phone and took a few photos outside, and then he said to Li Suyun: "I'll take a few pictures of you too." ”

After Li Suyun heard what he said, he used the fingers of his right hand to pose a scissor corner and put it on the corner of his mouth, showing a smile on his face. And when Jiang Jianlong finished filming, Li Suyun snatched Jiang Jianlong's mobile phone and said, "Show me." ”

I saw Li Suyun in the photo that he was in the same frame as the glass window on the plane, and thick clouds could be seen on the glass window, and he said to himself happily: "This is good." ”

After staying on the plane for about a few hours, the feeling of heaven in the hearts of the two of them gradually faded a lot, and Li Suyun could feel that the sky was darkening, "It's going to be dark." She asked herself in her heart, when she continued to look at the floating clouds outside the window, her heart suddenly burned with melancholy, she remembered her life, she wondered why she was so unlucky, she thought that she could forget all the pain in this trip, but once her heart was quiet, all the pain was like the air she was breathing, constantly converging from all directions. She kept thinking about her life on the plane, and gradually couldn't help but feel a little sleepy, and couldn't help yawning, but at this time it was time to eat, and the flight attendant was distributing dinner to the passengers in the cabin. Dinner was some pasta, and when the flight attendant sent it to Li Suyun, she only ate a few bites and didn't eat any more. Jiang Jianlong saw it and asked puzzledly: "Why didn't you suddenly stop eating." ”

Li Suyun said: "It's like foreign food, and I'm not used to this taste. ”

Jiang Jianlong advised: "In the future, we may have to eat such food every day when we travel around the world, and these things will be unavoidable in the future. ”

Li Suyun listened to Jiang Jianlong's words and reluctantly ate a few more bites. After the meal, the plane flew for a few more hours to Bole Airport in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia's capital. After staying at Bole Airport for about two and a half hours, the plane continued to fly for more than ten hours, and finally arrived at the Ministro Pisrini Airport in Brinos Aires, the capital of Argentina.

The local language in Argentina is Spanish, but the staff at the border checkpoint use English, and Li Suyun and Jiang Jianlong can still understand a little, so there is no problem with basic communication.

After completing all the formalities at the airport, they walked out of the airport with their checked luggage and came to the square outside Ministro Pisrini Airport. At this time, Jiang Jianlong took out his mobile phone and checked the hotel he had planned and booked before, as well as the bus route to the hotel. Although all this was planned in detail, it was difficult to find the bus after leaving the square, and they searched around the square for a long time before finding the bus to the hotel. After getting on the bus, they arrived at the hotel they had booked before, the Merritt Sant Telt Hotel. After arriving at the door of the hotel, they entered the lobby and checked in, when the formalities were completed, there was a waiter to help them carry their luggage, interestingly, this waiter mistakenly thought that Jiang Jianlong and Li Suyun were husband and wife, and the waiter had been using the title for them: "This gentleman and wife." ”

Li Suyun kept smiling and wanted to correct after hearing this, but Jiang Jianlong deliberately disagreed and just thanked him for helping them run Li's polite words: "Thank you. Thank you very much for your help.”

When they arrived at their room, Li Suyun gave some tips to the waiter who carried their luggage, and at this time, the waiter found out that they were staying in two rooms, which means that they were most likely not a couple or a couple, which made him feel a little embarrassed, but they didn't point it out before, so the waiter didn't apologize and went downstairs.

In the room, the two of them sorted their own luggage, and then slept first because they were both tired. It was almost evening when they got up and took a look out of the hotel and out into the street.

After looking at the map of Buenos Aires, they went to the 9th of July Boulevard, the widest avenue in the world, named in honor of Argentina's independence on July 9, 1816. It is 4.6 kilometers long, 148 meters wide, and has a total of 18 lanes.

The lanes are evenly separated by two separation strips, with 6 lanes in each section. Each intersection has traffic lights, including pedestrian traffic lights, which make it easy for vehicles to move through or pedestrians to cross.

As they walked down the avenue, they saw an intersection and entered a pedestrian shopping street, lined with shops, colorful window decorations, and a variety of goods. If you look closely, most of them are leather goods stores, selling all kinds of leather bags, shoes, leather clothes and belts.

Argentina has a well-developed animal husbandry industry, rich in cowhide, leather goods are of good quality, and the price is moderate, so many tourists will buy some leather bags and shoes here.

After a walk through the streets, they reached the Place Saint-Martin, formerly known as the Place de la Marte, where General Saint-Martin trained cavalry during the War of Independence. On February 25, 1878, on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the birth of General San Martín, the Argentine people named the square Plaza San Martín. The irregular shape of the square covers an area of 24,600 square meters, making it one of the oldest squares in Buenos. They climbed the high steps to the Parc San Martín, built on high ground, with its towering greenery, shade, fresh air and elegant surroundings. Strolling along the wide and flat mosaic boulevard, on both sides are tall and stout, leafy Saibo trees, full of red flowers, brilliant as a red glow, very gorgeous and moving. The saibo flower is the national flower of Argentina, commonly known as kapok, and is mainly distributed in Central and South America. Legend has it that during the Indian rebellion against the Spanish colonizers, a tribal chief was tragically killed, and his daughter Anayi stepped forward to command the clan, fought to the death, and was finally captured. The Spanish colonists tied Anayi to a Saibo tree and burned her to death. Anayi was generous in the midst of the raging fire, when the trees that had not yet bloomed suddenly bloomed with red flowers full of branches and blood. In 1942, Argentina adopted a constitution that officially established the Sebo flower as the national flower of Argentina.

In the middle of the boulevard there is a monument in the shape of a diamond column, carved on three sides with reliefs and coats of arms of General San Martín commanding the battle on horseback. Walking to the end of the square, looking out by the railing, in front of the towering British clock tower, Jiang Jianlong looked at his mobile phone introduction and learned that the Falklands War Memorial is near the bell tower. They walked down the steps, but they saw that the clock tower was being built near the fence, and it was impassable, so they could not see the monument that was very significant.

When they left Plaza San Martín, they needed to buy some food and groceries, and when they saw a Carrefour supermarket, they walked in again, this Carrefour supermarket in Buenos Aires is very large, and there are many products, most of which are marked in Spanish. Jiang Jianlong and Li Suyun couldn't read the words on it, but fortunately, most of them had pictures on them, and they could judge what was inside the product on the pictures. They had to buy a whole bunch of goods in the simplest way.
