DAYS 66 - 67 - BUENOS AIRES

Yesterday and today we took the train to downtown Buenos Aires.  A round trip ticket costs 45 cents.  Because the US has changed the rules recently, we will not be able to ship our motorcycle riding gear with the bike so we had to each buy another suitcase.  It is a metro area of about 12 million people and is a pretty neat city.  It is referred to as "The Paris of South America".  On to the pictures:

A few of the stickers found at "Dakar Motos".

A couple from Finland that spent a day here at Dakar Motos.

Joe modeling his newly vented "Frog Togg" after his little fire experience.

The Tango is everything here.

Harrods didn't seem to do too well here.

This is "Florida" street - (pronounced "Flor e da")  A pedestrian shopping street - lots of neat shops.

A maul on "Flor e da" street.

 This old tree was in a big park we had to walk thru to get to "Flor e da" street.

Pretty neat roots - huh?

See how the giant branch is supported.

One of several statues scattered around town.

The vendor market we went to today.  I wish I had more space so I could buy stuff. 

The entrance to Recoleta Cemetery - right downtown.

Lots of people visiting - a real tourist attraction.

Must not have any family left.

The crypts go way underground so there are stairs to get the caskets down there.

The most famous of the"Residents"

The family Resting place.

A map of the cemetery.

Some street guy that found a Tee shirt from the Los Angeles to Barstow to Vegas ride.

   This is Catholic Church - the "Basilica of El Pilar" which is right next to the cemetery.

Hope you enjoyed the pictures, I enjoyed taking them.
