Day Three

I couldn´t figure out how to rotate the pictures. I think computers are a little more difficult here. Oh well. Today Courtney and I went to Evita´s grave. A pretty funny thing about Evita, she is very loved in S. America. But Courtney said her grandma said she was nothing but a gold digger. It is funny to get the two different perceptions. Gramps may remember her...I´ll have to ask. The cemetary was pretty interesting. You would not believe how elaborate the graves are. It is pretty amazing. We also went and got my ticket for the bus to go to Rosario. We went to the market too. The market was very amazing. There are so many cool things to buy. I know I cannot purchase anything right now because I would have to carry it around, not something I want to do. All in all the day was wonderful. Court and I watched motorcycle diaries before going to bed. It was about Che, a very important person in S. America´s history. He is the one Bolivia killed and showed his body to the world. Gramps may remember him too. Anyway, day three was a success.

Courtney at the cemetary. There are a lot of cats there. They are laying around the trees, on the graves, everywhere. They seem pretty well feed too.
Me at the cemetary.
Me and Carlos. Courtney and I walked FOREVER today. We ended up at this cafe in a really nice part of BA. Carlos was our waiter. He was so funny. He spoke okay English. He asked us what the word for ´no sin´water was (water without bubbles or non'carbinated bubbles). Courtney told him flat. We could hear him walking around the cafe saying flat water flat water flat water. It was pretty funny.
I really don´t know what this monument is. It is right near the largest road in the world. Something like 16 lanes...maybe more, I cannot remember.
This is me at the pizza place where Court and I ate dinner. I ordered my own botalla de agua and copa vinto tinto (bottled water and red wine). I accidently told her ´no sin´which translates no without. She laughed at me. I meant to tell her sin gas.
