Day 14 of 22- Buenos Aires city tour

Good morning. It’s 7am and already 22 degrees😅

I’ll be back later with lots of photos😂

Just something random for you to enlighten me on please. Apparently here in the southern hemisphere the toilet flushes clock wise but in the UK it’s anti clock wise. That’s not the first time I’ve heard that when I was in Australia, however i thought the person that said it to me was ga ga! And I never checked it out! 🤔

Okay, so quite a few photos..

So first we went to a square where the government house is and where Eva Peron made her balcony speech (I’m really going to have to Google that)

And around the square (or circle)

Cathedral

We drove around some more and..

This is the tower of the English given to Argentina. Not sure if that was before or after the war!

This flower opens and shuts. I think it shuts at night time

A dog walker!

Bank of Argentina

Eva Peron square..

And the monument to Eva Peron

We then went past here.. will mean something to football fans..

Apparently they had a famous footballer play for them🤔

And now have another🤔🤔….

We then went to the area of La Boca which is a famous brightly coloured area of Buenos Aires

Maradona, Eva and another🤔

Street life

And then we went here….

This is the mausoleum of an Argentine prime minister

And this lady died just after or on her honey moon followed very soon afterwards her dog. The dog has a well worn nose where everyone touches it. For luck apparently😁. So what did we all do🤔

And the Eva Peron family mausoleum. Not that of her husband as he remarried after her death. It’s a very interesting story as she died young and her body was taken to Italy for many years. But of course you’ll all know that😂

This isn’t to do with Eva’s resting place, I just thought it eery

The resting place of the founder of the Argentine Army

And this lady apparently died twice! She was taken there after they’d thought she’d died! But legend has it that she hadnt but then she did because she couldn’t get out. How do they know? Because the coffin had been moved and scratches were found🤔

We found some interesting costume design in the shopping area we went to when we got back..

Argggh I’d almost forgotten it is nearly Christmas😱😂

Off to a tango show later so I’ll say goodnight now. I’ll post those photos tomorrow👍

    EP speach, it won’t be easy you’ll think it strange, when I try to explain how I feel, that I still need your love after all that I’ve done. You won’t believe me, all you will see is a girl you once knew….. or something along those lines
