Buenos Aires part 2

The weather is perfect for sightseeing here. I am taking a 2nd free tour. We came across the ceremony in front of a war memorial for 649 innocent teens died for Argentina against UK due to poor training and insufficient equipment. The war last only two months and 10 days and it took the UK fleet two months to sail to Argentina.

The tour covered a lot of 'palaces' of rich families (not royalty) which owned the big farms, ports, etc. The rich in Argentina keep low profile, and they would rather own valuable paintings than expensive cars. Some of them only take taxis.

The tour ended at the outside of Cemetery built in 1822. Here, among sculptures by Lola Mora, fantastic mausoleums, statues, and marble edifices, lie the remains of many illustrious Argentines, national heroes and renowned politicians including Eva Perón. The graves are as lavish as the palaces on the city streets. Since each lot has a fixed size, each family staged coffins at versus levels below ground.

BA is a combination of the better parts of dc and NYC. Its streets are well organized as NYC while it's capital hill and pink/presidential house are directly opposite to each other like those in dc. Its streets are much wider than dc and NYC and full of high and green trees．in addition, it has many parks and open space which provide breathing room for the 13 millions people living in it.

Argentina has cheap national health care yet long waiting time for medical procedures. Most people purchase supplemental private health care plan with 1/4 of the cost of US. The coverage usually include denial, mental health, and even plastic surgery. it I'd pretty common for locals to have plastic procedures. Foreigners visit Argentina as a part of a vacation package.
