Back to Buenos Aires

We left Iguazu Falls to catch our 1:45 p.m. flight back to Buenos Aires.  We checked into the Hilton and spent the rest of the day resting up for the next evening's long flight home.  We were finally able to facetime family after being out of touch for almost 3 weeks. 

We had to check out of our hotel at 1 p.m. and our flight wasn't until 9:10 p.m. so we scheduled a 3 hour tour of Buenos Aires, to hopefully see some better parts of town and leave with a more positive opinion of this city.

The tour covered the highlights of the city, and as we drove around, we could see that even the most elite parts of town was covered with graffiti and litter. 

The high point was visiting the Catholic cemetery.  Its where the remains of Eva Peron finally ended up, after years of battling over custody of them.  The cemetery was like a small city.   Some of the tombs were glassed in and the wooden casket and a picture of the deceased could be seen as you walked past it. 

 

So, although we feel we gave Buenos Aires a chance, let's mark this city up to one of those we don't feel the need to return to.

 

So after a 10 hour flight back to Atlanta, then a 3 hour layover and a 36 minute flight back to Huntsville, we are proud to be back in Sweet Home Alabama.....for 2-1/2 weeks!
