DAY FIFTY NINE - NATIONAL... I MEAN FLAG PRIDE!

Blinded by the blue & white! I took a ride on my bike today 20 blocks to the nearby park to read my book, and on my journey (with my eyes peeled) I spotted in the streets fifteen Argentine flags! One flag here, one flag here, flags, flags everywhere! And it doesn't stop there! It is a regular sight to see it thrusted up in the air by drunken larrikins at concerts and at football matches, it is also hanging like yesterdays news - brown and disheveled from balcony terraces in the middle of metropolitan BsAs and it is in every other dairy, chemist and bookstore window across the freaking country! 

And yesterday I went to see where all this flag fellowship madness began!
