Argentina: Tombs and Tango

Buenos Aires
Day Three
On Monday we went to the Recoleta Cemetary where Argentina's rich and famous are laid to rest. It's going to be hard to settle for anything less than a big marble tomb after seeing this. The grand attraction is Eva Peron's tomb.






After scoping the cemetary we went to El Sanjuanino, a restaurant famous for its empanadas. They were delicious, but also very messy.


Buenos Aires
Day Four

On Tuesday we went to the neighborhood of La Boca, a colorful place near the river home to the tourist trap El Caminito, a street lined with brightly colored buildings and restaurants hosting outdoor tango shows.
