Ah! How great it is to be in a big city amidst real culture again... Today we went into the free
Senator Domingo F. Sarmiento museum round the corner and saw the remains of a chair burned when
the congress was attacked by rioters in December 2001 and
one of Eva Peron`s outifts. There were newspapers from 1933 announcing the death of two-time 1920s President
Hipolito Yrigoyen, whom a street here is named after, just as they were lamenting "Father of Democracy" Raul Alfonsin`s death last week. A wall was decorated with a number of colourful caricatures, one of which refers to British greed though I am unsure in what context.
