Day 27 La Boca, Recoleta Cemetary Buenos Aires

 For this day in Buenos Aires, we had a three hour tour of the three main features.

They are the May 18 Square, La Boca and the Cemetary at Ricoleta, where Eva Peron is buried. 

The Square houses all the main government buildings for Buenos Aires for the three levels of Government, being Federal (Tax, military and intelligence), Provincial (tax) and Municipal (Mayor and city).

La Boca is famous for its coloured buildings of iron, originally the poor quarters, now very much alive and famous for the CAFJ (Club Athletico Football Juniors) the club of Maradona the most famous Argentinian player ever. 

And lastly, the Cemetary which was built in the early 1800's and is now not the main one, but holds 15 Argentinian Presidents and Eva Peron in a very elaborate Mausoleum from her illegitimate fathers family, Duarte.
