(*'Evita', Lyrics by Time Rice, Music by Andrew Lloyd Webber)
We've been on a city tour of
Buenos Aires in 37ºc heat for most of the day.
Eva Duarte Peron has featured prominently.
Some images. (Click on photos to enlarge)
 |
| Casa Rosada (Pink House) where the Perons and others addressed their people |
 |
| General Belgrano who gave Argentina its flag and whose name is also famous for events in 1982 |
 |
| Our stop for morning tea and a taste of local cafe culture |
 |
| A section of the cafe interior |
 |
| La Boca, famous for Maradona and poverty, cashing in on tourism; note Tango pose for a price |
 |
| More from La Boca, Tango dancers entice tourists in the street, this pair was enjoying an intimate tete a tete |
 |
| The Mausoleum of Eva Peron's family |
 |
| Can you guess who is interred in the family vault? |
 |
| A tour guide at the cemetery, not ours though |
Tonight we visit
'Rojo Tango' for dinner and the show. Hopefully pictures will follow.
I've never given a thought to BA, but it looks ok, even if too hot.
