Recoleta Cemetery

One of many rows of mausoleums in the cemetery.

The central walkway, complete with the first of many furry friends.

The grave of Juan C. Paz, the founder of one of the most popular newspapers in Argentina in the first half of the 20th century, called La Prensa.

Mausoleums.

Find the silhouette of Brian's head.

Reflective picture taking with Kate, Brian, and me.

I like the contrast between the old mausoleum and the new high-rise apartment building.

Coffins inside a mausoleum.

Kate and Brian looking at coffins.

Rows of mausoleums.

More friends.

Bath time.

Awoken from a catnap by Kate's loving scratches.

Play time with Kate.

Snoozing, as would be expected.

A statue to commemorate a woman who was buried alive in the 1970s.

It almost looks like a village.

More mausoleum doors.

Accidental overexposure that turned out pretty well, with Brian and Kate.

Mutual picture taking with Brian and Kate.

More doors.

More love.

Hi pretty kitty.  

I think Brian and I took more pictures of cats than anything else.

Evita Perón's tomb.

Lots of plaques like this on Evita's tomb.

Hiding from annoying people with cameras.

I told you they were everywhere.

Nice to see that some people still care about those buried here.

Wrought iron doors.

Shiny name plate.

I'll go ahead and acknowledge that there are lots of cat pictures.  Yes, there are.  But I've been so deprived of cat love recently that I have an excuse.  And they're cute, so you can't complain anyway.
