First full day in Buenos Aires


We woke up to see the news that it was 99% humidity and the thunderstorm that we flew through last night had caused a lot of damage - hail stones the size of golf balls. The weather cleared and it was a beautiful sunny day, 25c or so. We visited the cemetery where Evita is laid to rest, the most unusual cemetry we have ever seen, coffins on display everywhere in the most ornate surroundings. We walked all day taking in the sites including San Telmo region, the real Argentina, even managed a trip on the subway, saw tango dancing in the square, avoided a demonstration in case it was against the English! saw some great buskers in the streets.
