Today I went with some friends on a tour of the Congreso, which is the legislature building containing the Chambers of the Deputies and the Senators. Lovely old building, with just the kind of grandeur you usually see in buildings of this type. I did remember to take pictures, which I often don’t!

Three types of marble: the beige is Argentine, the whitish Italian and the red Spanish
Monument to Eva Peron
What an elegant building. Glad it wasn’t demolished to make way for something modern.
They are very good about that in Buenos Aires, Sharon. There are lots of newer buildings too, but they do tend to preserve the old.
