Today was my last day at school- the week has gone so quickly. The school has been brilliant and it’s been a great way to meet people too. I got a certificate at the end of the class which was really nice.

We had empenadas again for lunch – there’s lots of different varieties to try – and then we walked over to Recoleta cemetery to join a guided tour.

This cemetery is for the elite and has a lot of very ornate graves. The guide told us a lot of stories like a story about a young girl being buried alive, the caretaker of the graveyard still haunting the place and another you g girl who died abroad and then her dog died at the same time even though she was in another country. These may or may not be true.

Obviously the most famous grave here is that of Eva Peron. There is a huge history around this as when she died Peron had her body embalmed and it was on display in the Presidential Palace. However, when Peron was overthrown then Eva’s body was kidnapped and it went missing for around 20 years. Now it is back in Buenos Aires and it is buried under her family name. Thete is talk of moving it again so Evita and Peron can be buried next to each other.

The graveyard is strange as the graves are above ground – although some ha e u get round space too, and you can actually see the coffins. Some of them you could touch if you wanted to.

You could spend hours in the cemetery as thete is so much to see but after the tour we headed home.

In the evening everyone came over to mine for beer and wine and then we headed out to a bar in Palermo where there were a lot of language school students as well as locals. The idea was to practice different languages – I did try out some Spanish.

Around midnight we went to a milonga club – basically a danc3 club where people come to watch and dance tango. Thete were some professional dancers who put in a show, but mainly it was just people getting up and having a dance.

I had a go but I wasn’t that this- it needs a lot of practice.

It was a late night – I got home around 4am, but a great last night in BA.
