Buenos Aires

After a very, very long flight we arrived in BA via Sydney, Auckland and Santiago. Hotel is brilliant and we were almost tempted to stay there rather than explore the city, but explore we did . At 9 in the morning we joined the rest of our group for a tour of the city. We visited many interesting areas and saw many interesting sites,but one of my must sees didn't disappoint. Evita's sepulchre, complete with fresh flowers after 52 years, was moving and magnificent. All the mausoleums in this cemetery Recolate were fascinating, it felt like a city of the dead and covered two city blocks in area. We also saw the famous balcony in the pink Government House where Evita made her famous revolutionary speech (Government House is pink because it represents the truce between the two factions, red federalists and the light blue unionists) The highlight of the day was an evening dinner show featuring passionate tango, super food and super dance. Today we shopped until we dropped and discovered a gem of a museum just behind the hotel. It was a museum of the Spanish religious influence in South America and was full of priceless artifacts.
