When you take latinoamerica literature or history classes, the first thing that comes to you mind are historical characters, places, books, or professors. The APSU students visited Recoleta, where it is buried important characters that have significance in the history and literature of Argentina. For example, Eva Peron who was important instrument in the ideology of the government of Argentine today, Domingo Faustino Sarmiento (writer, president, activist), General Tomás Guido, Coronel Manuel Dorrego, Dr. Alfredo Palacios, Ortiz de Rozas (dictator) among other important characters. The interesting part about this cementary is that these people lived with fame, privileges and are still  remembered. As well there graves are build like a house, with walls and roof. This place reminds me my literature classes. I talked with  the group about APSU classes and everyone were agree in the importance to learn by observing.
