This is a pic of Katrina and Claire collapsing in the shade after an entire day of walking around the markets, church and cemetary. and behind them is the giant metal flower.













here are the beautiful displays in the church, this is the main one but there were many more along the walls






















And finally this is the awesome Tango band, they sounded BEautiful!
The violinist in green was also part of our tango show the night before. There is something about an accordian that makes tango sound so fantastic,


































These are the tango dancers in the antique market square. they were very good but we had to wait for 30mins to wait for them to start performing so were sick of sitting of hard dirty ground after that.







































The tango show was great even though it cost us more than we had expected so we had to put together all the money we had to pay for it and only just had enough for a taxi home. but it was well worth it but we had to watch sadly as other people bought delicious looking desserts. The show was a mix of slap stick comedy (alot of which went over our head with the language barrier) classic tango dancing which i love as well as performances from the band, singing, and a man who did traditonal indian drumming and something I can´t quite describe, similar to tap dancing but with piece of string with something hard at the end which hit the floor creating a beat, i can´t explain but was very impressive.








Here is one tomb picked from hundred of amazing tombs to show how extravegant they are. It would be about 7-8metres high i would guess.
