Buenos Aires, City of the Dead

Hola,

Back in BA and we had just 3 days (or so we thought, more on that later...) before our flight to London.  Erin was getting itchy feet and so decided we were going sight seeing.

First stop was a great big silver tulip, constructed for some reason which now escapes me.  It would have been cool to see this at night as there were big red lights inside.

Next door was this impressive looking building.

From there we headed to the cemetary.  On the way we spotted this... we suspect the local restaurants do deliveries.

At the cemetary and boy is this place it's own walled city.Inhabitants include, dead people and cats, cats, cats galore.

From the cemetary it was a short walk to the movies where we watched "Mas extrana que la fiction" (Stranger than fiction) which was an excellent film.

ross: that, is a lot of cats :) and dead people... you can see why the egyptians were so fascinated with cats and death :) (05/11/07)
