In Buenos Aires one of the interesting place to visit is a cemetery. The cemetery is located in Recoleta which is one of the more alternative neighborhood with markets, young people, concerts in the open air...

In this cemetary famous, rich or important people of Argentinian history are burried. You can find writers, presidents, politicians, doctors,... I went to see the two which I know. Jorge Luis Borges y Eva Perón.

In general, Buenos Aires seemed to me a very busy and noisy city. Honestly, I felt lost. However I feel that it is good to come back and experience it again without jet lag and with some cultural knowledge.
And here is one photo as the proof that it was hot weather these days :)

Next day I continued to Colonia del Sacramento. The distance between Colonia and Buenos Aires is about 50 kms by water. In between them is a river called Río de la Plata which is the widest river in the world. Or there is a discussion if it is a river or estuary, because Río de la Plata is actually estuary of two rivers: Paraná y Uruguay. Anyway, this river looks like the sea. The only difference is that it has a typical brown color which changes with different airs. And it is sweet :)
So the best way to arrive in Colonia is by boat.

And here I arrived. My new home for the next 9 months. The oldest city of Uruguay and the country of mate :)
