I know it may seem a bit morose, but this graveyard is very intersting.

This girl was pronounced dead by 3 doctors, and was put in a coffin in one of the mauseleoms. The next day, a caretaker heard a noise coming out of her mauselom and contaced the family. When they opened the coffin, she was dead, but had been alive and was trying to escape. The family designed this new mauselem and the statue is of her. Her hand is on the door, as she is trying to get out. They told us that her ghose has been seen wandering the cementary in a white dress.

This person died on her honemoon. She was at a ski resort that had an avalanche and she was napping in her room when it covered the hotel. She was buried with her favorite dog. If you rub his nose, it's suposed to be good luck. That's why it is shiny.

Looking into one of the mauseleums. Some even have stained glass celings!

Evita's grave. Her family's grave.

Amazing statues. Stand for sadness, the future, the past and infinity.

Eat, Pray, Love. Oh, the food here! All for $20.

The best barbequer in BA!

We have been wandering not so aimlessly throughout the city. Brent and I went to the Japanese Gardens, and wandered around in the peaceful setting. Brent went to Peurto Madero, a new section of the city, with a bridge dedicated to women that swings to let the larger boats through. We had a great tour of the Recoleta Cemetery and took photos of the graves we saw. This is the third most famous cemetery in the world, second only to one in Paris and one in Italy. It is the smallest cemetery in the city, but hosts 21 presidents, and other famous and wealthy folks. Including the fellow who figured out how to take lactate out of milk. No, his mausoleum is not shaped like a cow. These mausoleums are purchased by a family for up to $50,000 and hold up to 100 coffins at a time. When they get too full, they either move or cremate the remains. They can also sell these to another person, and move all of the remains to another location. The cats are said to keep the spirits inside the cemetery.
