When we got back to the apartment, we saw that the Argentine sailing vessel the ARA Libertad was in the lock and about to enter the basin. It was here for a 3 day visit. We rushed out to the basin area and spent the next hour watching the Libertad go through the lock, get maneuvered into place by two tugs and then docked. The band on the ship played as they maneuvered and parts of the crew were positioned on the masts.

As we continued our walk home we met our friend Eliane (2) as we crossed a parking lot. At the Esplanade Saint-Vincent we met our friend Jean-Michel (3) and spoke with him. As we were talking, our friends Jean-Yves (4) and Philippe (5) came up and starting talking with us. They had their dogs with them, Gavroche and Fripouille. So, on our 25 minute walk back from the marche, we met five of our friends and two of their dogs.
