My travels through Argentina.

A Visit To Parana

March 4, 2006
Day 157

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 »

The Original Santa Fe

March 3, 2006
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 »

Couchsurfing in Santa Fe

March 2, 2006
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 »

Day 154

Jack and I spent most of the day wandering around Rosario today. We quickly realized that we should have left yesterday as there is not much for tourists to do here. At some point in the afternoon, sloth caught up with both of us and we decided to check… Read More »

Museums and Stuff

Day 153

Between extremely long sessions of eating and drinking outside, Jack and I took a long walk around town today. The city is nicer than I previously thought. Yesterday, I didn't venture too far from my hotel, and I thought Rosario was pretty run down. I guess I'm just staying… Read More »

Off to Rosario

February 27, 2006
Day 152

Today Jack and I took off to Rosario, a few hours to the west of Gualiguaychu. All we had enough time to do after the bus ride was find a hotel and take a quick walk around town. The city has over one million people, but it doesn't look… Read More »

Day 151

This was a really lazy day. Jack, Jenny, and I started our day with coffee at a restaurant, then we walked around a bit and had lunch at another restaurant, then we walked around some more and had dinner at another restaurant, then we went out for a drink… Read More »

Carnaval

February 25, 2006
Day 150

This afternoon, Jack, Jenny, and I took a walk around town. When we got to the river at the edge of the city, we noticed a large gathering of people, so we sat down for a beer. Soon, it turned into a large party, where people… Read More »

Going to Gualiguaychu

February 24, 2006
Day 149

I wasn't quite sure where to go next, but I knew that Carnaval was coming up, so I wanted to go somewhere where I could watch the festival. Jenny, with whom I had gone to the Rolling Stones concert, and Jack, an American at my hostel, were going to… Read More »

The Rolling Stones Concert

February 23, 2006
Day 148

The Rolling Stones happened to be in Buenos Aires this week. I'm not really a fan, so I wasn't going to go. However, Jenny, an English girl at my hostel, had some extra tickets and convinced me that it might be my last chance to see them. They may… Read More »
