The drive to our hotel in Buenos Aires did not prepare me for what a beautiful and historical city this was. We first visited Recoleta a cemetery that mainly holds the bodies of politicians and celebrated figures in Argentina. We also passed the San Martin museum, as we learned in cordoba he is the liberator of Argentina and he has a square in every city. I enjoyed visiting the museum of Eva Peron. The most interesting thing we learned here was about her involvement in women’s suffrage. She was only able to vote once in her lifetime but she was such an important figure.
The Recoleta Cemetery was indeed one of the most extraordinary things we saw in Buenos Aires. It was sad to see the mausoleums that were in repair due to the family no longer being able to afford them. It was also interesting to see that Evita was buried under her Family name of Duarte. The story of the journey of her body over nearly 30 years is portrayed in a really fascinating historical novel I read sometime back. It would be well worth the read now that you have visited Argentina.
