Nov 24, Thursday
Got a late start today since I was updating my blog. No wifi in my room, only in the hotel lobby. By 1 pm I was on my way, walking to the Recoleta area to visit the cemetery where Eva Peron is buried as well as other famous Argentineans. It took me about half an hour to walk there at a considerable clip. The Cemetery is quite impressive with many monuments.
Recoleta cemetery
Duarte family mausoleum & Eva Peron's tombI walked around the Recoleta Convent grounds, visiting the church (sorry, no pictures allowed inside) as well as the surrounding park.
I then made my way to what I thought was the Museo de Belas Artes, but which turned out to be the Faculty of Law. Turns out the museum was a smaller building on the same side of the street as the Recoleta. Sorry, no pictures allowed in the museum either.
Statue on the roof of the museum. If there had been someone up there with me, I would have asked them to take a picture of me, sitting beside her, reading over her shoulder. Oh well, you'll just have to imagine it.
My feet were still aching from the day before, and by 4 pm I was ready to sit down and rest my aching feet, ankles and legs so I waved down a taxi and rode back to the hotel. Grabbed a bite to eat at the Pizzaria next to the hotel and came back to my room to soak my feet. Unfortunately there is no tub, and the sink is quite high of the ground. Shower will have to do.
Early night for me and my feet.
