We arrived Saturday evening and got off the ship this morning. Sad to end the cruise but anxious to explore a new city for a couple of days. Fortunately our hotel room was almost ready so we were able get checked in unpack a bit and then we were off on a walking tour.
First to the Colon Theater. We didn’t take the tour but enjoyed the architecture of the building. As we walked up to the Recoleta Cemetery we noticed the since it was Sunday much of the city is closed. It is strange to see all of the retail and even some of the restaurants closed. The Recoleta cemetery is where Eva Peron is buried. It is probably the most unusual cemetery in the world. It was very interesting to wander through. Here are just a few pictures.
See my reflection in Eva’s mausoleum.
The Sunday outdoor market in Recoleta was next. All kinds of local artists and crafters had booths with hand made things for sale. We added a few souvenirs and enjoyed seeing the local people out on for an afternoon.
After a short break at an outdoor cafe we headed back to the hotel for the traditional siesta and a swim in the roof top pool. Tonight we are going to dinner and will try the local beef and some local Argentina Malbec. Outside the cafe where we stopped was this statue and Steve wanted to be photographed with the soccer player.

Nice pix! Parts of the cemetery remind me of ones in New Orleans. Sounds like a perfect day of exploring, activity and dining! Enjoy your remaining time, and safe travels home❤️
