December and beyond Continued


Each tomb has a capacity of 60 coffins below the mausoleum 





I beleive this statue was created by the father whos daughter was mistaken for dead and put in to a coffin and later when the coffin lid was reopened found that the girl tried desperately to escape after she woke up from the coma..

  The above pictures are of the Recoletta Cemetery.. Famous here in Buenos Aires..  Where all of the most important people are buried.   You see above the tomb of Eva Peron made more famous in AMerica by Madonnas portrayal..

PARRILA !!     
Parrila means barbecue..  and lots   of meat..  Usually over a wood fired stove.   Delicious..  THere are many Parilla restaurants scatterd throughout the city...
