Lorenzo Olarte-Living History in Buenos Aires

A remarkable part of the Evita tour is the opportunity to sit and talk to Mr Lorenzo Olarte who was a coworker of Evita Peron. Young looking for someone in his 80s, he maintains his personal collection of Evita memorabelia including photos of her body lying in state (in the building where they both worked), an autographed photo of Juan and Evita, and a poster of Evita. This is a small part of his collection and merely sets the stage for his first hand accounts of the Argentinian history he shared with Evita.
My sincere thanks to Mr. Olarte and to Natalin for these pictures.
