First Morning in Buenos Aires

Got in at 10:20AM today after a 14-hour ordeal.  Buenos Aires is 4 hours ahead of AZ, so obviously we were still quite tired after getting off the plane.  The airport appeared quite small and dated.
By the time we got to the hotel, it was an hour later, but we couldn't check in yet, so we went across the street to the Recoleta Cemetery, where all the rich and famous are buried.
Eva Peron (think...'Don't Cry For Me Argentina...')
President Domingo Faustino Sarmiento
Some more interesting mausoleums.
Some that require a little more tending to by the family...
'Real estate' in the cemetery is reportedly quite expensive (more so than real estate for the living).
