Yay, we're finally on the road! After years of excited and nervous planning we took the plunge and left our jobs, rented out the house, said goodbye to the folks and friends, got married (well, you've got to be sure your travel buddy's there for you!) and headed off for places unknown.

Recoleta

The cemetery had many plaques such as this, engravings and even some photographs, of its deceased tenants. It was a bit unnerving at times...

Recoleta

Parts of the cemetery were returning slowly to the wild

Recoleta

Madonna's grave

Recoleta is the final resting place of Buenos Aires' rich and powerful.

Recoleta

Forlorn, bereaved

Recoleta

City of the living, city of the dead

Recoleta's gloomy splendour is dwarfed by modern day BA

The management

Here lies...

The writing was on the wall long before the summer of '92

Entertaining the late night shoppers. Pretty good stuff too

A radicalised zebra crossing

Mothers of the disappeared

Every Thursday at 3.30pm the Madres de la Plaza de Mayo march in memory of the estimated 30,000 men and women that vanished during Argentina's 'dirty war' in the 1970s

The main shopping drag in BA

Achtung!

Av. 9 de Julio

This dude kept this up for a long, long time. He appeared to be busking, but asked for no money...

Fantastic blog on BA!
It's where we started our South America trip almost 9 months ago, and I've very fond memories of the city. It was interesting seeing all the Irish names in Recoleta cemetery - I missed Fr. Fahy though! Enjoy your 15 hour bus ride, I really miss the Arg buses, the ones in Ecuador are nowhere near as good.

Wow the air quality!
What skies...can they really look like that? Makes me realize the poor air quality here in China, where there is always a faint haze. Pictures are fantastic!
