 the Casa Rosada (Pink House)... |
 ...where la Presidenta works during the week |
 |
 in the hall of Latin American heros, with paintings of historical icons |
 like San Martin, Argentina's liberator and national symbol |
 and a couple of other Argentine icons |
 |
 heading upstairs... |
 to a room commemorating Argentine women, including Eva Peron |
 and artist Lola Mora |
 above the inner courtyard |
 |
 |
 in the state offices of the President |
 |
 |
 |
 la Presidenta's ceremonial office and desk |
 |
 |
 |
 (where some of the real work gets done) |
 this elevator was not on the tour |
 |
 in the reception hall, with busts of Argentine presidents |
 recognize him? |
 from the front balcony, looking across the Plaza de Mayo |
 the Cabildo, seen from the Casa Rosada |
 |
 |
 heading around the Plaza to the Metropolitan Cathedral... |
 ... which includes the tomb of San Martin |
 and other statesmen |
 |
 continuing to el Cabildo, a governmental building from colonial times |
 in the rear garden of el Cabildo |
 |
 a view from the Cabildo balcony across the Plaza de Mayo |
 in the Manzana de las Luces, a block-sized complex of early government buildings |
 some are now ruins, but the outlines of structures are still visible |
 down in the tunnels under the streets |
 OK, maybe that's far enough! |
