This first photo was taken before we landed -
after landing we gathered our stuff and headed off to the nearest hostel -
But seeing all the youths standing around, we fel a bit out of place so we took the closest transportation we could find -
It was alright for me, even though I had to stand to pedal, but I felt really bad for SooZ... she ran along beside me holding on to our luggage. But we didn't have far to go. We stopped at the Hilton in respect for Paris and all she's had to go thru -
We got a beautiful, but muy expensive, room up on the 13th floor. This is the sights that beheld us as be stared out our window-
Having had such a long trip and a long day, we settled down for the night. The following morning we made arrangements with the desk clerk to hire a travel guide to show us around Rosario... her name was Deliciosa -
Being young, blonde and beautiful made the day a fun day. She first took us to see the monument to Che Guevara... he was born right here in Rosario! Wow!
From there little Deliciosa walked us to the Immigrant Monument -
That was really cool. She then got us a taxi and took us over this spectacular bridge -
...where we were treated to the port -
Little did I know that Rosario is the second largest city in Argentina, only to Buenos Aires. Really a colorful place.
After having lunch together with Ms Deliciosa, we had the taxi take us on one last scenic trip before returning to the Hilton. The lights were spectacular! And this shot of the Monument Bandera was no exception -
The next morning we had to get back to the airport. While in route we came across this picturesque scene -
It was Arcadia!! with her niece Emilia. But as luck would have it, all I could do is take this quick photo thru the taxi window. She never knew we were there - Rosario, Argentina. Nice place. Lots to see.
...and good to dream!
(well, I can dream can't I..? I mean, I can't afford a summer vacation but anyone can afford a google vacation!
