Rosario

Rosario, Argentina

 

We had a much nicer day today. No rain and a high temp of 26 degrees, perfect for wandering around town.

 

Downtown is a whole lot busier on a weekday.

Like so many of the Latin American cities we have visited, they have several blocks in the center of town that are closed off to vehicles, making for a very pedestrian friendly core, with lots of sidewalk cafes and eclectic shopping experiences.

 

 

Near the banks of the river sits the most impressive monument in town, a tribute to the birthplace of the Argentinian flag. For a small price, we were able to ascend to the top of said monument for some excellent views of the city. After that, we did a touristy type walk along the river - kind of neat to see those big ships so far inland.

 

 

Rosario turns out to be a pretty nice, laid back, kind of place, but I think one day is really enough to see the majority of it. Tomorrow we will continue on our quest to cross the continent. Next stop will be Cordoba.
