Buenos Aires, city tour

The roads travelled so far:
This path is 6,416kms long and takes 103 solid hours of travelling!


Congress building

"35 years since the genocide - repression, corruption, hunger, theft and no human rights"  

Palacio Borolo


The oldest cafe in Buenos Aires - 150 years!
Mmm, DIY hot chocolate! Called a submarino




The pink house - with Evita's balcony on the left

The Recoleta Cemetary - where the rich and/or famous people are buried - including Evita. The graves are all huge tombs in rows, so its like walking through a really creepy town!







Often they have windows so you can see the casket...




The black tomb on the right is Evita's





A pirate family!!!
