Evita Peron's gravesite.
A girl from my Spanish class who lives a few blocks away from me, Kari. We went for a walk through the Recoleta cemetery together. This cemetery is where all the famous Argentines have been buried; and apparently it is one of the most expensive places to be buried in the entire world. It is like a city in there, with each grave inside its own little house (or in most cases, church). It's very beautiful indeed, but so unncesary and even a little disgusting, when you think about all the homeless people in this city, and how the dead aristocracy are in a much better place than live people. Anyways, the day we were there (26 July) it just happened to be the day Evita Peron died (57 year anniversary). We had had no idea. The place was packed with mourners. Crying, praying, and yes, a lot of prostheletizing. Very beautiful flowers. Some of the people here believed she was actually a Saint. I dunno what that even means...hahaha
Inside one of the graves. Some of them are open to walk inside and people put flowers, candles, etc all over the place. This one had a cool ceiling I thoguht..
