| | 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 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 |
