"Eva Peron Dies 55 Years Ago"

Today was the 55th anniversary of the death of Eva Peron and in what is becoming an almost daily ritual for us, we stopped by the Recoleta Cementary and paid our respects to her and anyone else in an abandoned tomb along the way. It was very intersting to see the many moving tributes to Evita in the cemetary and throughout the city today. We had some coffee and chocolate and churros near the Recoleta and then headed out for shopping and exploring through downtown Buenos Aires. We walked all day through the following streets and sights: Avenida Alvear, Hotel Alvear Palace, Plaza San Martin, Torre Inglesa, Marriot Plaza Hotel, Florida, Galerias Pacifico, Lavalle, Corrientes, Avenida de Mayo, Plaza de Mayo, Igesia San Domenico, Iglesia Catedral, Calle Belgrano and Puerto Madero. One of the highlights was a farewell stop to the "Palacio De La Papa Frita" for Argentine steak and papas fritas soufle. This place is consistently orgasmic. We will miss you!! The city center by the way was a madhouse with children on vacation from school this week, Eva Peron demonstrations and an absolutely beautiful springlike day with temperatures into the 60's. We did a good amount of shopping along with much walking. We got home around 8:00 P.M. and called it a day.
