Even though they don't really celebrate Valentine's day here in Buenos Aires I was in need of some afternoon delight last Sunday so I decided to take a little lady friend over to the Japanese Gardens (jardin japones) in Palermo. It was a great idea except there was ton of people. It would have been a lot easier to harness my inner chi if we'd went during the week. Regardless I'm a big fan of Koi fish so it made it all worth it. 

We even got to see a Samauri demonstration which was... interesting. It would have been a lot more believable if he didn't drop the sword so much. 

All-in-all a great place to take a date here in Buenos Aires and a nice little getaway (during the week).
