Recoletta Cemetery, Buenos Aires

Evita's tomb









This is a really, really cool cemetery. Except the second time we went, we smelled someone dead. That was possibly the most disgusting thing I've ever smelled.

Buenos Aires

This is obviously a church, but I can't remember where or which one! But it's pretty, no?

Three Borders

This is an area where you can stand in Argentina, and see Paraguay (here)...
and Brazil (here).
And me. Apparently, in Brazil and Paraguay they have similar little monuments set up.

Iguazu Falls

Iguazu Falls is right on the border of Brazil and Argentina. It's really beautiful, but I have a feeling the pictures are self-explanatory, so just take a look. I was unable to get too close to the really big falls as the height was too much for me to take, so I'll have to wait for Michael's pictures to see what it actually looked like!

See the rainbow?



















This is me, in the shade.

I think my camera got a little wet from the waterfall spray here.
Me again. It was hot. I look hot and tired.

Buenos Aires Zoo

Polar bear


Lake in the entry to the zoo
This was part of a weird exhibit on dragons in what appeared to be old cages.
These were free range! Does anyone know what they are, though?







Baby ducks
This was a really cool building, but it was all closed and boared up.

Lemurs!
