Recalling Recoleta & Palermo Parks

With our tango career dead in the water, we thought it time to visit BA's most beautiful cemetery where notable Argentines are buried, usually in grandiose granite masoleums. 

It's a bit fussy but it's what she wanted.




Sorry, visiting hours are over.

He only went out to get the paper...
West of Recoleta cemetary, we found more statues in the Jardin Botanico in the posh neighbourhood of Palmero.

The bowls tournament deteriorated after
the introduction of absinthe at half-time.


God, please give me bigger breasts.
 
Tomorrow I'm putting a time limit on teatime
for Romulus and Remus.


When we stopped for a drink at Plaza Cortazar (named after Argentine writer Julio Cortazar who wrote a book of short stories called 'We Love Glenda So Much', so naturally my fave Latin American author) I was most pleased to receive a free perfume sample from a couple of pretty girls with too much starch in their skirts.
