Recoleta




On Wednesday we went to Recoleta to see the amazing cemetary. It had rows and rows of these amazing tombs. There is no way to fully understand just how amazing this place is without seeing it. We took a ton of pictures trying to capture the beauty and creepyness of the place. We found Evitas tomb and found out that it was her birthday so there were tons of flowers and people singing anc crying. Her actual tomb, you would think would be very large and impressive, but it is the opposite. You could walk right past it and not notice it at all if it were not for the flowers.
A funeral procession was going on while we were there. How odd it must be to try to have a funeral among the tourists everywhere.
