Suiza
Yesterday I met up with Daniela, a friend that had been an exchange student in Baker in Highschool from Switzerland. She is doing a study abroad in Buenos Aires. I don´t think we really imagined we would ever see eachother again and even less in Buenos Aires. We went to see parts of Buenos Aires together. We saw the Cemetary of Recoleta which is where Evita Peron is burried. It is a pretty big tourist site because of the ornate grave sites and because the large quantity of famous Argentines burried there. Besides Evita, there are numerous other past presidents of Argentina burried there. After the cemetary we went to the Museum of Art which had a mixture of international art but also quite a bit of Argentine art. They had a Van Gough, a few Monet´s, Manet´s, and a whole exhibit dedicated to modern Korean Art which was interesting. We finished off the day seeing the new Indiana Jones movie which was pretty good. Of course I have to recommend seeing it because quite a bit of it was filmed in Argentina at the Iguazu Waterfalls. There are some pretty good shots of the Devil´s Throat which will further convince all to visit the Falls.

Dude, this is some really cool stuff you got going on in South America. It has been neat following you around. Some of the pictures that you send back remind me of Mexico. Those waterfalls are gorgeous. I hope you are having fun and being safe. Remember to practice safe tourism. LOL Sue and the kids said to say hi. Be safe.
