Buildings and churches






David and I were able to have our first real tourist day together last week and it was super fun! I'm pictured in the city center (you're welcome, mom), we've got the national cathedral (the building that looks like a library), a cool view I liked of clocks, the tomb of San Martin ("the liberator" for Argentina and most of South America--he's buried inside the cathedral building, but outside of the actual "cathedral" because one of Argentina's early presidents decreed that people were not to be buried inside churches--he also has an eternal flame on the outside wall of the NOT cathedral), and David with a doll of Mary and Jesus that he particularly liked. The cathedral was MASSIVE and really impressive.
