Thursday, May 5th
This morning we went to the cemetery on a walking tour which was an amazing place....wait till you see the pictures. We saw Eva Perons final resting place which is not that impressive.. We the went to the Eva Peron Museum and also had lunch nearby. We went to see the Mothers of May march, as they have done every Thursday since 1976 when 30,000 children disappeared and also another 500 were taken from pregnant mothers after they delivered. Our afternoon plans were interrupted by a protest...so what are the girls to do? We went shopping and walked a LOT finally making our way to the Alvear Hotel for drinks and appetizers and then we walked back to our hotel. Now to rest up for shopping in Palermo etc.
Friday, May 6th
This morning we went on an architectural walking tour of Palermo District (the Northern section of Buenos Aires). It is very eclectic...many different styles. We went to the Palermo Woods and ended in the rose garden. I then had a crisis..my iPad would not work so our guide took me to the Apple store and it was readily fixed. Then to lunch at a great little place and then to shopping. They had a hippy market and then some small designer shops. Marita got a beautiful raw amethyst ring. We will soon (9 pm) be going to dinner and a tango show, and will return about midnight to pack and charge our equipment. Tomorrow is the local Hippy Market and more shopping. Leave for the airport about 5pm..arrive Sunday.
