OK....so I'm thinking I'm kind of slacking on the blog thing. Haven't really been writing too much. So have decided to write more, even if I'm not running off mountains.
So yesterday we spent the day at the Recoleta Cemetary. This is where all the rich of BA go to spend their final days. Its crazy. The tombs are huge and so elaborate. Marble and huge statues. This is also where Evita Peron is buried. We just had to follow the crowds to find hers. Although I must say we were expecting a little more. Compared to the others it was very plain.
After wandering the cemetary we went to the huge outdoor market right outside. There was so much to look at, with people wandering and bands playing. A very festive contrast. Couldn't help but do some shopping. ;0)
Back at the hostel we made some dinner and were very low key. Read, chilled, chatted with others. Not too much.
Today we are going to wander the city a bit. There are amazing huge buildings, statues, parks. We have some places to check out, but I will tell you about that later!
Cheers
