This past week in the land of Matte

Sorry to be so slow with posts, it's a little difficult to get photos off of the camera and up on the web here.  

I managed to buy a bike about the third day here.  It's not much but it was cheap and works so I guess that is the main thing.  I took it to the Recoletta cemetery (As seen in the picture here) it a really interesting place lots of unbelievable  crypts  the larger ones resemble small churches more than anything else, Argentina's famous dictators wife 

Eva Peron is entombed there along with most of the rest of Buenos Aires other bigwigs. 

The big collapse in the economy has left Argentina with a really high unemployment rate so you see some really creative businesses out there trying to make ends meet, for example these knife sharpeners who were riding around my neighborhood.  They would stop and set up this crazy grinder wheel thing attached to the bike then "sharpen" knives.  Not the best quality knife sharpening but hey at least it was door to door I guess.   

People are unbelievably nice and patient here with my Spanish which is very much lacking.
