Buenos Aires

We have arrived! yesterday was our first day in South America, and it was a great place to begin. It is hot and sticky here, and very different from what we are used to, especially this tiem of year! We visited the famous Recoleta cemetary yesterday, which was an insight into Argentinian culture. Each mausoleum was like a small architectural marvel, and there were stray cats everywhere, eating cat food. Someone must have left it there for them, perhaps they are the guardians of this maze like city of the dead. Evita´s grave was anticlimactic (no fanfare or fireworks, just tourists), but the rest of it was fascinating.



We spent the rest of the day basking, wandering, and pootling, it way a joy after the rushing we have been doing recently in preparation to get here.



Today is a day for exploratrion of some of the other districts in BA, San Telmo and La Boca, and for a big juicy Aregentinian steak!

Computrer is acting up a bit, so we will add the pictures later,

Have a great day everyone, (we certainly will)!
