Day 18 - Evita

Today after school we all went to the Evita Museum. Evita Perón was arguably the most famous First Lady in Argentine History. Evita was a famous actress and model before marrying her husband Juan Perón who eventually became president. Evita's story is controversial, and people here either hate her or love her. From what I know, I love her. At the Museum we learned of her strength, work ethic, and true caring for the people of Argentina. We were able to see her extravagant clothing, her incredible kitchen, and many other of her things. When Evita died at the age of 33 to cervical cancer, the people of Argentina had an incredible funeral. Her funeral celebrations and ceremonies lasted for 14 days. On the final day millions of people gathered to the flower filled streets (INCREDIBLE picture below). Her story is amazing, and I cannot wait to learn more about Evita!

After the museum we came home and ate some delicious stir fry with chicken and went to sleep! Mádison
