Buenos Aires, Argentina - Part 2
 
We made our way to the Art's District where we shopped and then had a lovely lunch while being entertained by Tango Dancers. We then visited the Recoleta Cemetery and Evita's tomb.
 

   


The Arts District, where we enjoyed shopping and lunch.
3 BA icons representing Tango, Politics, and Football (Soccer).
Adele and Ruth clowning for the camera.
 
At lunch we enjoyed an excellent steak and tango dancers ...
... at a side walk restaurant.
Even the Argentine Pussy Gatos know where the food is good!
 
The two young people were excellent dancers.
 
Check them out on the internet.
Mary Ellen caught me in a candid moment, eating my steak.
The sidewalk Restaurant.
The crowd was nearly 3/4 Rotterdam passengers.
The shops and restaurants dominated the district.
This clock tower was a gift form Great Britain on Argentina's Centennial.
The "streets" of the Recoleta Cemetery, aka "The City of the Dead."
The family mausoleums line the "Streets" of this quiet "town."
The Recoleta's main gate, with a central promise of the Christian Faith.
These family mausoleums are like small churches
Yes, Jesus was there, knocking!
Some are more similar to what one sees in the states.
Some were very old, and clearly not well maintained.
The artistry that went into the construction of these tombs is impressive.
The Tomb of Evita Peron ... of the Duarte Family.
 
She was originally buried elsewhere, and only later moved here.
 
 
The Argentine Pussy Gatos are everywhere!
 
This is one of my favorite works of art in the Cemetery.
 
A peek inside one of the mausoleums shows how they are actually family chapels.
 
At sunset the Rotterdam set sail ... leaving behind the massive metropolis of BA
