We started our Day 2 with an early lunch at Kentucky Pizza, followed by a visit to the Palermo Botanical Gardens. It was wonderful to walk around in a lush place full of trees, plants and flowers. Kat was so excited when we saw a Magnolia tree. We had one in our backyard in Clayton. We were so surprised to see so many cats wondering the gardens.
We caught a taxi to Recoleta Cementary. It is the famous cemetery in Buenos Aires where many Presidents, Politicians, Nobel Prize Winners, the granddaughter of Napoleon, Eva Peron and many other rich and famous people are buried. It is listed as one of top 10 most beautiful cemetaries in the world. Massive rows of stunning, ornate mausoleums that tower over you. Each mausoleum belongs to one family and multiple generations are buried there. Some of the mausoleums are unkempt and falling apart, some new. The place is a history lesson of Argentina in itself. Wish I would have known more history about Argentina.
After the cementary, we headed across the parking lot to a gigantic tree that Kane spotted and wanted to climb. It was an awesome climbing tree with its long branches. Our kids love to climb!
Followed by coffee and snacks at La Biel.
That night we had one the best steak dinners at Don Julio in Palermo. It was a favorite dinner spot for us. We had dinner here 2 more times.
