We are having a great time here in Argentina. Buenos Aires is fantastic, it’s a great city with a lot of culture that’s very relaxed and lots of friendly people. Some highlights thus far have been lots of great food (of course), the Recoleta Cemetery, the MALBA art museum and exploring Las Cañitas, the neighborhood our hotel is in. Here are some photos:

Alex in front of the Floralis Generica, which opens at sunrise and closes at sunset
Carlo and Che
You'd be disappointed if we didn't find the good pizza place, right?

Some of Buenos Aires' most prime real estate -- Recoleta Cemetery
One of the ornate tombs typical of the Recoleta Cemetery
This tomb had multiple levels holding the caskets of several family members below ground
Evita Peron's tomb, which is the most popular, but one of the more visually unremarkable, tombs in Recoleta

omg, the pizza… with the egg! yum.
looks like you guys are having a great time- thanks for sharing the photos.
i’m also glad to read that i’m not the only one who calls them “art thingys,” especially coming from professionals like you guys.

The Las Vegas Museum of Art and its array of “art thingys” is in good hands.
