Best Buenos Aires site, in my opinion: Recoleta Cemetery. Granted, I am a taphophiliac (look it up, http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/taphophilia). Much like Paris' Pere LeChaise Cemeterie, Recoleta is full of grand masoleums and statuary. Here, Matt poses with the symbol of the cemetery, the gravesite of a young girl who was buried alive. Cemetery workers heard her screams, but when they dug her up, she was already dead, but covered in scratches from trying to escape. Her mother was so wracked with guilt that she built this ornate monument showing a young girl with her hand on a door. The daughter's coffin is above ground in a windowed room on the right, so as to never be underground again.
