These are tombs at the Recoleta Cemetery. If you ask me, it is a bit morbid. Each tomb is decorated differently. Some have been maintained and have fresh flowers, others have not. Some coffins have protection from outside, like glass on the doors, other do not. Here are a few of my favorite photos. It wasn't easy taking them because the kids wanted to run through the isles and look into every window. We were trying to keep them reverent!
To me, this is typical Argentina. On the left there is a beautiful tomb made of granite and well-maintained on the inside. To the right, a run down forgotten tomb. 100 years ago, Argentina was the 7th largest economy in the world. This country has so much unrealized potential that has been wasted away.

This statue is a little strange...
