A Day Amongst The Dead

So we got the internet back on Thursday night but i`ve been lazy about blogging, settling for putting pictures in the Facebook galleries. But today we took a nice long walk down through the parks and squares of Recoleta to the cemetery (it`s not a long walk but we took the scenic route), The Recoleta Cemetery is a world famous necropolis, and one of the largest, housing the remains of Argentina`s elite for well over a century and a half (including Eva Peron). The mausoleums are impressive and run from the simple and elegant all the way to the uber-tacky monstrosity. Some of them are just plain creepy. The cemetery itself is huge and really is like a small city. Here are just a few of the many pictures i took on our first walk through the city of the dead:
