A lazy Sunday, caught up on correspondence and then headed down to the Recoleta Cemetery. Inaugurated in 1882, this 54,843sq m (14acres) area became Buenos Aire's first public cemetery in 1822. A meander through the maze of narrow lanes lined with elaborate mausoleums is a very different experience. It is so interesting. There are more than 6,400 tombs and mausoleums in the cemetery. The tomb of Eva Peron is found here. The best views are from the church Iglesia de Nuestra Senora del Pilar. From the windows you look down on to the cemetary and you can take in it size and beauty.
I am home now for the evening. Will have an early night as tomorrow is the big day - stating the TEFL course.
