"Don't Cry for Me Argentina....

...I cry enough for both of us!" says Ethan as he looks out over the Plaza de Mayo from the balcony in the Casa Rosada where Evita would give her famous speeches.

On their first full day in Argentina we kept Grandmom and Granddad very busy. There was brunch at Oui, Oui and then off to the center of town to see the Plaza de Mayo and the Casa Rosada (or "pink house"). The Casa Rosada is the executive offices for the federal government. Unlike the White House though, the President of Argentina does not live there. The president actually lives in the suburbs and takes a helicoptered to work each morning. Afterwards we headed over to Recoleta Cemetery to take a walk around and enjoy the gorgeous day.
