Someone from the W.H.O told me...

Someone from the W.H.O (world health organisation), once told me that HPV is transmitted via people from the African continent...and that's what Eva Peron indirectly died from...
Hmmm, not a great topic to write about. Let's try another.
Considered the first founder Don Pedro de Mendoza of the city then known as nuestras Señora de Santa Maria de Buenos Aires, who landed on the muddy shores of what is now San Telmo in 1536. The Spaniards were greeted warmly by the local indigenous tribe living in the area (Guarandí), whom brought food and water to the Spaniards and honored the visitors with their women, and commenced to help with the building of basic adobe huts. Mendoza, happy that his new servants knew what to do, i.e. 'bring him stuff', gifted them with syphyllis. Naturally this relationship was going nowhere and so the indians moved further inland. Bed-ridden himself with syphyllis, Mendoza sent his men to seek out and kill the indians... hmmm I did it again. Ironic though that hundreds of years later they honor Mendoza with a big black statue...
Ok, how about this one.
Francis Felicitas. At one time the wealthiest woman in Argentina
and once referred to as the most beautiful woman in the republic. At the age of eighteen she was in love with Enrique Ocampos who was chased off by Felicita's father. Felicitas was married twice, once in an arranged marriage to the wealthy Álzagas, a man more than 30years her age who had a second family in another province and secondly to Gregorian Lezama (Lezama park). After the death of her two children to Yellow fever, Felicitas shortly thereafter died from a gunshot wound at the hand of a jealous Enrique Ocampos.
Seven years later in her memory, there was built in her memory, a beautiful non-denomination church in the neighbourhood of Barracas which stands to this day , it even has a replica of the virgin's grotto constructed off to one side.Visit this church when you join Biking Buenos Aire's
