Waiting in line for the velorio, or viewing, in the Casa Rosada.
There were people camped overnight in the plaza.
From top: "Fuerza Cristina," a popular sentiments on the cards, notes, banners and messages spray-painted on buildings around the plaza.
They called Kirchner, el pingüino because he came from the province of Santa Cruz, in the south.
From top: The liner of mourners wishing to enter the Casa Rosada stretches multiple blocks along Avenida de Mayo.
**I'm going to be a bad J-school graduate and state that I do not support los kirchneristas, justicialistas or peronistas
