Anarchist’s Tomb
2023年3月13日, アルゼンチン ⋅ ☀️ 90 °F
I am not much of a student of Argentinian history, but judging by all the “anarchy” signs adorning this tomb, Mr. Falcon was a well-known anarchist! Something else to research later.

Evita’s Tomb
2023年3月13日, アルゼンチン ⋅ ☀️ 88 °F
The most famous grave in Recoleta Cemetery is that of Evita Peron. Although Argentina’s beloved first lady died of cancer in 1952, her body was not buried here until the 1970s because the military government worried her grave would become a site for protests.

When her body was finally added to the Duarte family crypt, it was placed in a heavily fortified crypt 15 feet underground so that her remains will no longer be disturbed.

As you can see, the face of the mausoleum has several plaques in her honor, and people still leave fresh flowers in her honor to this day.もっと詳しく

Honeymoon Avalanche
2023年3月13日, アルゼンチン ⋅ ☀️ 88 °F
While honeymooning in the Alps, Liliana Crociati de Szaszak and her husband were killed in an avalanche.

Meanwhile, Liliana’s beloved dog, Sabu, is said to have died at the same moment as she, even though he was back home in Argentina.

Liliana’s parents modeled the interior her tomb after her bedroom, and hired a sculptor to create a statue of her and Sabu to stand beside it.

As if all this wasn’t touching enough, a bronze plaque expressing her father’s raw grief and anguish over losing his daughter in the prime of her life is affixed to her tomb, as well.もっと詳しく

Buried Alive
2023年3月13日, アルゼンチン ⋅ ☀️ 88 °F
There’s a tragic story behind this beautiful art nouveau tomb: After Rufina Cambaceres’ burial, cemetery workers heard shrieks coming from her grave!

Sadly, by the time they disinterred her, the young woman had suffocated. Much to her family’s horror, there were scratch marks on her face and on the lid of her coffin.

It’s now believed that Rufina had merely been in a coma, and unfortunately did not regain consciousness until it was too late!もっと詳しく

2023年3月13日, アルゼンチン ⋅ ☀️ 88 °F
Buenos Aires is a big city, but it’s full of parks, public art, and great big trees. We came across a huge ficus in Recoleta. I like how the city has built supports for so many of its limbs.

Argentinian Dogs
2023年3月13日, アルゼンチン ⋅ ⛅ 86 °F
Fishermen often speak of “the one that got away.” I feel the same way when I miss a great photograph!

Today, I saw a man surrounded by at least two dozen dogs. By the time I realized he was a dog walker waiting for the light to change, it was too late to take a photo.

I saw several more dog walkers today, but nothing like that first one! Oh, well.

What’s funny is that we didn’t see any dog walkers yesterday. According to our guide, “That’s because it’s a weekend. People only need dog walkers during the week when they are at work.”もっと詳しく

Boca’s Famous Caminito
2023年3月12日, アルゼンチン ⋅ ⛅ 95 °F
There’s a famous tango song called “Caminito,” that you probably know, whether you realize it or not.

Caminito, which simply means “little street” is a shady alleyway in the heart of Buenos Aires.

This part of town is called Boca, a neighborhood known for colorful buildings, artwork, cafes, and tango dancers.

Locals used leftover scrap metal and paint from the nearby boatyard to create an artsy neighborhood that is one of the most popular spots in town.もっと詳しく

The Pink House
2023年3月12日, アルゼンチン ⋅ ⛅ 95 °F
In the USA, our president lives in the White House. Here in Buenos Aires, he lives in the Casa Rosada, aka the “Pink House.”

Back when Duarte was in power, his beloved wife, Evita, would address her adoring public from the windows on the first floor.

During the pandemic, people began leaving stones around the base of the statue you see here to commemorate those who lost their live to Covid. The stones are now behind a plexiglas barrier, and remain as a touching memorial to a difficult time.

As for the white tent, a group of indigenous people have been waiting here to have an audience with the president for over two years. I asked our guide about it, but she didn’t have much more info to offer.もっと詳しく

Recoleta Relics
2023年3月12日, アルゼンチン
While wandering through the Recoleta neighborhood, I was struck by the colorful paint job adorning this typical neoclassic exterior.

I rather like it! What do you think? To me, it really fits the city’s personality; bright colors layered over rigid history.

Inside the church you see here, I saw some intriguing religious relics. Sadly, they were behind a metal gate, so we weren’t able to see them up close. Ah, well!もっと詳しく

Guessing Game
2023年3月12日, アルゼンチン ⋅ ☀️ 93 °F
I posted this street sign on Facebook and asked people what they thought it meant.

The replies were hilarious, everything from:
“Dancing businesswomen crossing,” to “beware of people tossing Thor’s hammer,” and more.

A couple people guessed correctly, however; it means there is a school nearby.

That was certainly it my first guess, either!もっと詳しく

Condor Tomb?
2023年3月12日, アルゼンチン ⋅ ☀️ 93 °F
In Buenos Aires, it’s a point of pride that Pope Francis hails from here. Today we visited the church where he was once a bishop.

Armed guards stood in the doorway of a large tomb for a famous general. If you look closely, you can see that I’m getting some serious “side eye” from the soldier!

What really caught my attention, however, was a nearby niche for a general named La Heras. To me, it seems that a bronze condor adorns his sarcophagus.

I’ve never seen a condor (or is it a vulture?) in funereal art before. Yet another thing for my research file!もっと詳しく

Cariocas, Favelas, & Kite Fights
2023年3月9日, ブラジル ⋅ 🌩️ 88 °F
CARIOCA: You’ll notice the word “carioca” all over Rio. (I even saw it on a manhole cover, but it it was in the middle of a busy street, so I couldn’t get a photo.)

In the 1500s the Portuguese settled in Rio, the local Tuvi tribe described their dwellings as “Carioca” meaning “house of the white people.”

In time, the Portuguese began calling themselves “Cariocas,” and now the term has come to mean people born and raised in Rio de Janeiro.

FAVELAS: Brazilian slums are called favelas, because they tend to blossom on hillsides, just like the favela flower.

Our guide, Gil, pointed out that, “The favelas mix with the skyscrapers here, and while most of the inhabitants are poor, some are not. You might think this strange, but some live in favelas to stay close to their families, while others, maybe, are avoiding taxes. There are many reasons.”

KITE FIGHTS: Gil told us to look for motorcycles and scooters with antennas on them. “What do you think the antennas are for?” he asked.

After many guesses Gil revealed the answer and it’s pretty bizarre!

Kids in the favelas don’t just fly kites, they have kite wars. One way to take down an enemy’s kite is to attach glass shards to your kite string.

Unfortunately, this can injure and even kill unsuspecting motorists as they whizz by. That’s why many motorbikes have antennas. Hopefully, the antenna will catch the dangerous kite string rather than their throat!

Crazy, eh?もっと詳しく

Christ the Redeemer
2023年3月8日, ブラジル ⋅ ☁️ 84 °F
Rio’s enormous statue of Jesus stands atop Corcovado Mountain. (“Corcovado” means “hunchback,” for what it’s worth.)

The statue is called Christ the Redeemer, and was named one of the Seven Wonders of the Modern World in 2009.

After the long wait in stifling heat and humid for Sugar Loaf, we opted out of visiting Christ the Redeemer up close.

For us, the view of Christ the Redeemer from Sugar Loaf was good enough!もっと詳しく

Sugar Loaf Mountain
2023年3月8日, ブラジル ⋅ 🌧 84 °F
We took a cable car up to the top of Pao de Azucar aka Sugar Loaf today.

The view was wonderful, but even as fast-tracked tourists, the line to get in was nearly two hours long!

As expected, Sugar Loaf offers an impressive vista. From here, you can see Copacabana beach, as well as Christ the Redeemer.

I really enjoyed the birdwatching, as well. A swirl of black vultures circled the mountaintop. I got a much better look at the frigate birds I’ve been seeing since we arrived. There were plenty of other birds in the lush canopy of trees below our viewpoint, but I wasn’t able to identify any.

Note to self: next time you’re in Rio, bring binoculars!もっと詳しく

Copacabana & Mosaic Streets
2023年3月8日, ブラジル ⋅ ⛅ 84 °F
On our way to Sugar Loaf Mountain, our bus swung by the most famous beach in Rio de Janeiro: Copacabana.

Even the wavy black and white mosaic pattern that makes up the sidewalk running alongside it is iconic.

This style of pavement reminds me of Portugal, so I assume it’s due to the Portuguese influence here. (I forgot to ask!)

Along the way to the beach, I saw a lot of street art as well as ugly graffiti. In many cities around the world, people spare statues and churches from spray paint, but not in Rio.

There’s very little shade, as you can see. I found it interesting how they wet the sand so it’s cool enough to walk on.

A statue by the beach commemorates Princess Elizabeth, the king’s sister who signed “the golden law,” banning slavery in the late 1800s.

Some folks spent the day at Copacabana, but a drive by was good enough for us.もっと詳しく

St Helena
2023年3月3日, セントヘレナ ⋅ ⛅ 77 °F
Greetings from one of the most remote islands in the world! The nearest landmass is 1200 nautical miles away from St Helena.

It’s easy to see why, after he escaped from the Island of Elba, Napoleon was exiled here.

A few folks went ashore today, but we were not among the lucky ones. After a handful of tenders launched, the captain announced that for safety reasons, no more passengers could be taken to shore.

Those who made it to shore, assured us that getting on and off the tender boats was very challenging.

Our Romanian friends even showed us a video of their boat being tossed around. Their tender was even damaged on the return trip when it smacked the side of the ship!

Even so, some passengers grumbled about the captain’s decision. But according to the bar staff, a crew member broke their leg last time they were here due to similar conditions.

Maybe we’ll get lucky next time we’re here!もっと詳しく

Italian Beatles
2023年3月1日, South Atlantic Ocean ⋅ ⛅ 73 °F
I was a little dubious when I learned that an Italian Beatles tribute band was performing on the ship, but both of their shows were a whole lot of fun!

I appreciate that they covered more than just the early Beatles. They actually performed songs from the band’s entire career.

As you can see, they even had fun dressing the part. They were certainly cast well. They look a lot like the Liverpool lads.

Sometimes we could hear slight Italian accents when they introduced various numbers, but who cares?

These guys, aka “Beatbox,” did a great job and it really looked as if they were having fun on stage.もっと詳しく
