Rosario, Argentina
The verdict is still out on Rosario.

| Buenos Aires Bus Station |
We left Buenos Aires on the 10:30 bus for the 4 hour drive to Rosario, a much smaller city set on the banks of the Rio Parana, the second longest river in South America. After leaving on a slightly overcast morning, about half way we hit some high winds and thundershowers, all quite exciting as we had a perfect view, riding at the front on the upper storey of the bus, especially when the bus started aqua planing as it changed lanes. By the time we reached Rosario, the rains had stopped and it was a beautiful day.

Walking around town on a Sunday afternoon, the center of town looked deserted - pretty well standard for these very conservative, Roman Catholic cities - Buenos Aires was much the same.
This morning we set out with good intentions to see the sights along the river, but suddenly the skies got very dark and the wind started howling. We beat a hasty retreat back to our hotel, where we are holed up reading books, watching endless episodes of CSI on the only English TV channels and updating this blog, while the rain pours down outside. I think this city has a lot of promise if we just get a chance to see it.
