Me in front of the Casa Rosada (which is where the President works, but doesn't live)

Me in front of the monument that symbolizes Argentine freedom. The soil surrounding this monument is even made up of soil from all the provinces in Argentina. Son muy linda. 

The tomb of San Martin, the liberator or Peru, Chile, and Argentina. It is housed in the church in the Plaza del Mayo--which is the first Catholic church in all of Argentina.

Protest about the rightful Argentine ownership of the Malvinas (the Falklands) hosted by the Madres de la Plaza del Mayo. They Marched counter-clockwise around the monument signifying Argentine freedom.
