Woman and her dog


In the cemetery where we saw Evita's tomb, is this beautiful tomb commemorating a woman and her beloved dog. Notice that people rub the dog's nose.

Evita



I'll be taking a hiatus of a few days to have and recover from hammer-toe surgery. I'll be back soon.

We visited the cemetery at Recoleta, Buenos Aires, and came upon Evita's much-decorated tomb.

María Eva Duarte de Perón (7 May 1919 – 26 July 1952) was the second wife of President Juan Domingo Perón (1895–1974) and served as the First Lady of Argentina from 1946 until her death in 1952. She is often referred to as simply Eva Perón, or by the affectionate Spanish language diminutive Evita, which literally translates into English as "Little Eva". Thanks to Wikipedia.
