Recoletta & bus tour round BA

Today we set off in the morning to Recoletta - where we went to the cemetary where Eva Peron was buried. Catrin thought the idea of family burial homes to be one that she surprisingly liked - and quite liked the idea of us all being buried together.....we had a coffee under a series of very large trees in a cafe which gave lots of shade from what was a very hot day. Grace enjoyed chasing the pigeons. We also saw our first tango dancers giving a street performance. In the afternoon, we went on a bus trip round the city (mostly with americans) and saw the sights. Stopped to take a look at the Presidents Palace (pink) and had a look round some shops. The bus trip also took us to La Boca - home of the Boca Juniors - and a colourful shanti town where local artists sell their wares.
