So I decided to go to Recolletta where there is a market (touristy but not bad), but its much more famous for its cemetery... and Evitas burial place. Sounds creepy, but it is amazing with these impressive mini buildings sandwiched together... so you walk along admiring the statues, the intricate doors, the marble facades and almost forget each little buidling is actually a mauseleum. Except when you get a huge fright when you peer inside a slightly ajar door and see and old man cleaning a coffin! Anyway on to a museum about Evita, and then to the suburb of Palmero to visit a 
clothing market. This was kind of fun... bought a badge, a beanie and fingerless mittens to keep me warm. And admired the young designer clothes/shoes/jewellery spread out in makeshift markets in cafes and nightclubs... pool table?- perfect for displaying clothes!Sunday it was on to the area of San Telmo which has an antique market overflowing with nicknacks. And the street back into town is also covered with markets, Tango bands, buskers and more.... had to rush back to catch an bus to get myself to Iguazu falls next.
