Cementerio de la Recoleta

Finally had a chance to go to the cemetery where Evita Peron was buried. It was quite a unique experience being one of the tourist destinations is a final resting place of another person. 

This reminds me of two things, Marcos' Mausoleum back in Ilocos and that I need to go visit the Libingan ng mga Bayani when I get back home.

It's a bit cloudy 

and the weather is dready!

a perfect setting to stroll around the cemetery!

Hotel Madero: Red Restaurant

After staying a few days at the Hilton and didn't like the businessy ambience of the Hilton I've moved back to Hotel Madero (also since this hotel has a wonderful free breakfast. :D).

It was already 2PM and my room was still being prepared so I settled to eat lunch at the Madero's Red Restaurant and ordered a grilled rib steak with malbec wine and for desert some parfait .

Even though I was not used to eating at places where there are more than one pair of kubyertos I still found the place cozy. So on with my dining experience:

As with every restaurant that I've been to in Buenos Aires, they serve different kinds of complimentary breads with butter and/or pate. I'm not sure though if it was just my luck that the bread was freshly cooked or was reheated, in any case it was good!

After seveal sips of wine, the main course was served and it was good! (coz everything was good!)

And finally when the dessert came in, all i can do was make a smiley face made out of cold molten bitter sweet chocolate. ^___^

Norma's Yumpanada and Stroganoff supreme.

Again with the food! I'm not complaining or anything, it's just so... so... delicious!!!

Thanks again to Margarita and Ricardo for such a wonderful home cook dinner! ^__^
