Buenos Aires -- last two days

Thursday featured a trip to the Recoleta Cemetery. On the way there I stopped at a corner flower stand to pick up a little tribute to Evita.

Plaza San Martin has a war memorial for the Islas Malvinas and a British clocktower. We played tennis on a nearby court before dinner.

At Plaza Mayor the mothers of the disappeared continue weekly protests that have been going on since April, 1977.  The student flag is labeled "no one left behind." Also notice the handkerchief the woman below is wearing. Blue embroidery tells the name of her missing child.

Friday was at a nice, slow pace. The Niza Petit Cafe at the corner of Alvear and San Martin had my favorite lunch of the whole trip! The manager was exceptionally friendly; he is so proud of his business and genuinely likes his customers.

In addition to the fantastic banana shake I enjoyed, he also sent over complimentary ice wine in champagne classes. I signed his guest book, he shared how he's been in business for two years since redecorating (notice the fine English, imported wallpaper.) and highly recommend you go there if you ever get the chance! This was a very lucky way to end the week.
