Buenos Aires

On Wednesday we just drive  around, without getting off the bus, and contemplate  Buenos Aires. Unlike the trolley bus from Santiago it is not a good way to see  a city. So, the real visit takes place the next day, when we do get off the bus - to take photos, to visit the famous cemetery where Evita lies, to admire the elegant houses of the rich Brazilians (now occupied by embassies)  and to laugh - groan- at Recoleta, the absolute kitsch.  I find it interesting to see here  iron houses, similar to the ones in South Melbourne
