Our last day began with the second world cup game for Argentina. We met at a small cafe on the corner of the street near San Andres church and watched the game with about 20 other fans. It was an exciting game in what is turning out to be a rather boring tournament.
After the game we boarded the bus and headed into Buenos Aires to tour the famous Rose Garden. We got some great pictures and somehow managed to give Jason and Nicole enough space without alerting her to the fact that something was up. Once they got to the bridge we kept our distance and tried to act conspicuous even though we all wanted to see him pop the question. A job well done, Jason! Even though most of us knew he was proposing to her days before hand, we managed to keep it a secret. Good work, team!
We ate lunch at a little bistro that served Milanese and then headed over to La Recoleta for a tour. We saw some really ornate graves, crypts, mausoleums, tombs, etc. Please see pictures below. One interesting tomb was that of Eva Peron. To this day it is still being decorated with flowers and notes from supporters and admirers. Much to our dismay, it soon came time to leave Buenos Aires. Here is a short anecdote: Tony climbed a tree and whilst sitting on a branch for a model shot fell off the tree as the branch crumbled under his weight. After making sure he was OK we laughed at him. Actually, we laughed at him beforehand. We said our goodbyes to Camilla and Stephie and loaded onto the bus for our final destination: the airport. Buenos Aires, you are a wonderful city!
