Picture I took while spending the day in one of the estancia [Spanish and Portuguese word for the term ranch] on the outskirts of Buenos Aires. I believe for some of you, familiar with Argentinian’s traditions, the Asado [South American technique for cooking cuts of meat, which are cooked on a grill (parrilla) or open fire] is not a mystery anymore. For those who don’t know about it, click the complete Asado wikipedia article.

Never really got a chance to visit this so-called amusement park, where you can see a resurrection every hour. I guess one day I’ll have to check it out before I move out of Buenos Aires. Maybe if some of you ever visited it, could you share your thoughts about that place….

From Wiki:
The tomb of Liliana Crociati de Szaszak is a tomb in Recoleta Cemetery, Buenos Aires, Argentina, known for its unusual design.
The 26 year old Liliana Crociati de Szaszak (1944-1970) was honeymooning in Innsbruck, Austria on 26 February, 1970, when her hotel was struck by an avalanche, killing her. Her tomb was designed by her mother in the Gothic Revival style, in sharp contrast to the other tombs in the cemetery. Adjacent to the tomb stands a dais adorned with a plaque containing an Italian-language poem by her father, and topped by a life-size statue of Crociati de Szaszak in her wedding dress, by sculptor Wíeredovol Viladrich. Following the death of Crociati’s dog Sabú, a bronze statue of the dog, also by Viladrich, was added, with Crociati’s hand resting on the dog’s head.
