Having unpacked and settled in to our room -and flooded the bathroom trying to shower - we headed out to get some lunch. As we wandered the streets we noticed quite a few people with direction signs and welcome messages and even more in large groups - all with the similar badges on different coloured ribbons. Assumed they were a tour group and thought little more of it - except that there appeared to be hordes of them wherever we went.
All became clear on our second morning. when we learned that the city is hosting a worldwide convention of Jehovah's Witnesses and that there are more than 45,000 delegates - so much so that they have hired the Boca Junior's La Bombonera stadium for the gathering - must need a huge supply of The Watch Tower.
I'm sure Jimmy C will regret not being here!
