more cemetery, the top of someones, some peoples, tomb
anybody knnow what kind of tree this is? i recognize it but cant remember the exact name

cemetery was so beautiful and serene



probably 100plus cats lived there too, they were pretty friendly, but mainly kept to themselves, maybe they were cats of the people who passed on,and the cats still live nearby. there was a woman that was walking around with a push cart, feeding them and giving them water.







i got to class too early, so i walked to the old cemetery, id never seen one like it. all tombs above ground, big statues, long plaques, shrines at some, stairs that head down under the ground, families all buried together.

drinking mate on the river, its called rio de plata, and is pretty darn big, i think uruguay is way of in the distance, we couldnt see it though, toomuggy, we will go to uruguay when we are done with our class, and camp out along the small beaches, uruguay is a 1hr boat ride a way, so close!



always drinking our mate, we need it to survive!!!!



here is tirzah while we were on a walk in florida, we walked all the way to the river. not down the tracks tho but i bet thats where they went too!
all the beer bottles on matias roof terace. when you buy a beer(we usually buy Quilmes) they charge you for the beer and an extra peso for the bottle too, so you take back your bottles and then they give u a credit for your next beer purchase. great way to get people torecycle! people dont officially recycle in the city but after you put your trash on the street, random people pick threw and take out all bottles, paper, and anthing useful!
