Rosario, Argentina

Rosario in the province of Santa Fe, and is considered the third biggest city in Argentina. It lies on the Western shore of the Panama River so there is a fishing industry here and to give myslef a break from meat, we went for dinner last night on the river and ate fish. It kinda tasted like roast chicken though. Not that im complaining! It was really tasty and good and fresh water fish tastes different anyway, but yeah, it kinda tasted like chicken. We have been eating very well here (albeit with little greens) and not always the regular backpacker diet as you may expect from Jeb and i. At least you can do it fairly cheaply here. But you also realise what you miss about home and food is one of them. In particular, we are missing brocooli and good salads, and spicy foods and thai. The fruit it pretty good, but vegies not so. Its all meat, potato and cheese, so a breakway fish meal was great last night even if it did taste like chicken.

Rosario is the birth town of the revotionary leader Che Guevara, and we stopped by his house yesterday. Its just a signpost on the street now, and there is also a mural monument, but he really was born here and Rosario can wave their hands high about that title. We also checked out the Flag Moument which is a massive structure and overlooks the river. The city is a little cleaner and nicer than Buenoes Aires and apparetnly has a cranking night scene, but we have mostly chilled here for 2 days as the hostel we are staying in is new and has almost no-one here so the peace and space has been appreciated.

Our bus to Iguazu Falls leaves at 7pm tonight, and we arrive at 1.30pm the next day. The seats fully recline and we get feed and attended to so should be a pleasant road trip even if it is 18 hours.
