The General lies here

At the Metropolitan cathedral in Buenos Aires you can visit the grave of Gen. José de San Martin, hero of the Argentine independence. Each hour they have the changing of the guard, done by the Granaderos or Mounted Grenadiers, who serve as the presidential guard.

At the quesadilla stand

On my last day in Mexico I treated myself to some quesadillas for lunch, upon arriving at the distinguised establishment I asked for a place to sit, and was ushered to the upper floor, where I had a wonderful view of the grill that stood inmediatelly under me thus sending all the smoke in my direction. (the price of a good shot, and a good meal too, for 4 bucks, can´t complain)

The Irish fought here too.
