getting lost in silent city

i ventured into the historic silent city in northern buenos aires this morning. i had to travel well off the beaten path to reach the recoleta cemetery. the cemetery is home to thousands of mausoleums from buenos aires´ social elite over the past 200 years. the most famous of the mausoleums is that of eva (evita) duarte péron. the cemetery is absolutely massive. individual mausoleums can stand upwards to 15 feet and they are placed very close together. walking through the cemetery feels like a maze ... a maze of death people. i spent well over two hours walking around the mausoleums. when it came time to depart, i wasnt sure which way i needed to go! although each of the mausoleums are very different, when you are trying to find your way out of the cemetery they all look remarkably alike. after twenty minutes of wrong turns, i eventually found my way out of the cemetery.
