Exploring Rosario

About 4 hours by (a lovely) bus is a city of 1 million called Rosario, which is a small version of Buenos Aires; with pretty streets, lots of boutiques, beautiful people, and fresh take-out pasta (a favourite dinner of ours). Rosario is on the Rio Parana, which seperates the city from its frequented beaches. Every half an hour a small ferry crosses the brownish-painted river to a small strip of sand (nothing the same as beautiful Bayswater Beach in Nova Scotia), but a beach nontheless. For the past week we have experienced a lot of rain, and on Friday we awoke to a beautiful bright sunny day, so we packed our backpacks and hit the beach. It was a relaxing afternoon of reading, people watching, and soaking in the sun. Around 5PM, we took the ferry back, walked around town, found Che Guevara's first home, got some fresh take-out pasta and an extra large bottle of vino, and headed back to our very lovely hostel for dinner, drinks and a night on the town with some Porteños (people from Buenos Aires) on vacation. The next day, was cloudy once again, which made getting on yet another bus easier, and we headed to Córdoba.
