Day in the Life- Recoleta Cemetery

I got to visit the Recoleta Cemetery and couldn’t believe my eyes! There was an entire community for the Dead.  Each month the families have to continue paying taxes or else the state could resale the tomb homes to another family and unroot yours. Just when I thought paying rent was over, I realized HERE it still cost you even after death.

    As I walked through the cemetery, I got to see many tombs including the cherished Eva Peron. I didn’t know here how loved she was, but after visiting her museum. I see why now it would be important for her to be at such a Historical cemetery.

My favorite tomb to see was of Amia Figlia who was killed during an avalanche, and buried alongside her dog who surprisingly was dying at the same time. I saw many people touching the nose of the dog and decided that if I did, maybe it will produce more blessings and luck in my life. Fingers crossed!
