Hello Monday, hello world this week’s country was at the suggestion of a fellow blogger, Rita who can be found here:https://soulcomfort.blogspot.com/
The country is Argentina, which borders Paraguay and Boliva to the north and Brazil and Uruguay to the northwest and Chile to the west and south. It’s officially the Argentine Republic.
It is the second largest country in South America and the eighth in the world. Its culture is influenced by Europeans in particular the Italians and Spanish.
It has a population of 46 million, its official language is Spanish, and the currency is the Argentine Peso.
The politics of Argentina take place in the framework of what the Constitution defines as a federal presidential representative democratic republic, where the President of Argentina is both Head of State and Head of Government.
The main religion is catholic.
Their flag has three stripes alternating sky blue, white and sky blue. Each stripe is 30cm high. In the centre stripe there is an emblem known as the Sun of May a golden sun, which some say is representation of the Inca sun god Inti. The flag was adopted way back at the start of the 1800’s.
Some of the things the country is known for are its wine and food, its music and the dance known as the Tango and of course the country’s love of soccer.
The City of Buenos Aires is the capital of the Argentine Republic.
The 9 July is the country’s Independence Day this date originates in commemoration of the signing of the Argentine Declaration of Independence, on Tuesday, July 9, 1816, in the house of Francisca Bazán de Laguna. In 1941, the building was declared a national heritage site.
Many people know the song Don’t Cry for Me Argentina by Julie Convington a song about Eva Peron she was the First Lady of Argentina from June 1946 until her death in July 1952, as the wife of Argentine President Juan Perón.

Is my comment not visible? Can you check if it ended in spam…?
Dearest Jo-Anne,
Trying again—if I remember well.
Loved this post, well composed.
Yep, tango is a good one and it was my favorite dance when I was young.
Got a 1st price one time for dancing it and wearing my red satin Spanish dress with 3 strokes, self sewn.
The Dutch Queen is from Argentina.
And of course their fierce soccer players are world famous.
Both of us have only looked into Argentina from the South of Chile, during our honeymoon.
Hugs,
Mariette
I am glad you liked the post, I have never danced the Tango but have seen it done on TV and have always thought it was a cool dance.
It sure is a cool dance! Did you get my email?
Yes I did get your email and I will go and check it out soon
Thanks for your visit and comment on our honeymoon where we could view Argentina… its tall mountains especially.
This morning a neighbor and I were talking about Argentina and Antarctica…then I saw your post on the same country. Don’t know why I wrote this, but it just seemed a strange coincidence. I don’t know that much about Argentina, but it seems like such an interesting place.
It can seem odd when such things happen, I know bugga all about the country
