Day Five





Sometimes I come across Street Art I appreciate. Haven't seen any yet to rival what I found in Ecuador.













Today I visited The Recoleta cemetery, where the rich and famous are buried in mausoleums (sp?). Saw the place where they claim Eva Duarte Peron is biding her time but those in the know are sure she is with Elvis. They claim there are no religious restrictions but I hung out for a while and did not see any stars of David.





On Saturday and Sunday there is a market in front of the cemetery but a lot of booths were empty as it was threatening to rain. Fairly nice, mostly new stuff.

I got my pocket picked on the subway. Small pocket with a closed zipper. Got the money and left my credit card and bank card. Everyone was pointing to me and talking about me and I did not have a clue what it was all about until I spoke up and asked.

Off to a soccer match tonight between the two best teams in BA.

Location:Buenos Aires

  1. Hey Pop!

    Great photos and it sounds like great adventures overall. I'll leave some small comments throughout, but suffice to say it looks great. Things here are great and moving very fast, we are going to RI for good on March 7th (that week).

    Love

    Chris
