Day 164,165
Not a whole lot of interesting things happened this weekend. I was out really late on Friday night, so I got a late start on Saturday. I did a lot more walking around the city, but I had run out of things in the area that interested me. It… Read More »

Today I went with some people from my hostel to Cuesta Blanca, a tiny town in the middle of the campo, or country. We walked to a river with a beach where we relaxed, swam, and played cards all day. It was a really hot day, so it was… Read More »

In the corner of my map of Cordoba is a large patch of green called Parque Sarmiento. I wasn't quite sure what was there, but I decided to walk to it anyway today. When I got there, I noticed that it indeed was large, but there was a strange… Read More »

I wanted to get out of the city for a bit, so today I took a bus to Alta Gracia, a small town about an hour away. Although it was a nice town with lots of big houses, my main reason for going there was to see one of… Read More »

I went with Laura early this morning to nearby Parana, a city slightly smaller and much more hilly than Santa Fe. Laura had been taking photography classes there and needed to pick up her license. It was a nice place to walk around with lots of parks and a… Read More »

Day 156
There isn't much for tourists to do in Santa Fe, so Laura suggested that I check out Cayasta, a small town about an hour and a half away that is near the original location of Santa Fe. A bus dropped me off in front of a museum displaying artifacts… Read More »

Day 155
The next city on my way toward Salta in the north of Argentina was Santa Fe, the capital of the Santa Fe province. It's smaller than Rosario, but still has over half a million people. The best part about going to Santa Fe was that it gave me another… Read More »
