I asked Natalin, my Evita tour guide in Buenos Aires, to check the accuracy of the information about Argentina in my blog. Here are a few corrections she made;
1. The soccer stadium I showed belongs to Boca Juniors and the neighborhood of elegant faded mansions surrounding it is called La Boca.
2. Lorenzo (the 80 Year old pictured) was a friend of Evita's but they did not work together.
3. The Evita Items displayed were not from Lorenzo's private collection, but were collected by all the people who worked in the building with Evita "as an honor to her and all the workers."
Also important is that Natalin asked that we don't let the actions of one hotel desk clerk spoil the impression of her country. I would agree!
Thanks to Natalin for the great tour and also the follow-up to make sure that my blog is accurate.
If you plan to go to Buenos Aires, Natalin and her tour company Travelline are highly recommended!
