Esteban and me before I left Buenos Aires.

Esteban drew this wonderful painting for me!

Beginning the touring the Evita Museum.

The crown jewel of the museum, Evita´s collection of fashion. The black dress in the middle is simply a masterpiece! Exquisite!

Here´s a hat she wore at an event working on a project for children.

This room is filled with aroma of Rose, Evita´s signature aroma.

In the museum, there are a lot of history, videos and photos about Evita and Juan Perón.

Argentines have all sweets for breakfast, like alfajor, medeline among other pastries. Very delicious.
