This structure dates from 1822. One of the best things about the cathedral is that it is cool inside. It also houses the tomb of General José de San Martín, the liberator of Argentina. Gaston, our guide on the first day, said that San Martín is the only politician that all Argentines like.
The church also has beautiful mosaic floors, a silver alter, and a domed ceiling.
Once again we needed refreshment after all of this touring. We headed for Café Tortini for a Submarino. A Submarino is hot milk with a bar of chocolate; in the case of Café Tortoni, the chocolate is shaped like a submarine. You stir the chocolate into the milk and yumminess ensues.
Don't know why I'm torturing myself by reading your blog posts.
