Recoleta Cemetery – Who’s to Say

Lots of memory moments on our Buenos Aires trip and one was a walk through the Recoleta cemetery, one of the world’s most extraordinary graveyards.  It was the mausoleum of a 26-year old that died on her honeymoon in an avalanche in Austria that struck my heart.  She stands as a bronze statue in her wedding dress outside her tomb with her dog.  But what stole my heart was the cat that our guide told us can be found most days at the foot of the statue.  Just a graveyard cat who has found a sunny spot?  Who’s to say, but I know for me as I lightly petted his ears his contentment and love was real.  Things death can’t even take away.
