We will post trip information here as soon as it starts. For 2010, we will continue planning the project and look for Sponsors that are willing to invest and support the Project. All indications in that regard is ...

The beach!!! This is not just any quiet beach. It is a good sized city about 400km (250mi) south of Buenos Aires. It is the largest city on the Atlantic costal strip of beaches and fishing towns in Eastern Argentina. There is a busy casino that draws many "porteños"(B.A. residents) for vacations year ...

En el fin día, nosotros fuimos a la Buenos Aires otra vez. Esta tiempo, nosotros fuimos a la playa, Mar del Plata. La Playa esta a muchos kilometros de largo. Es lo muy famoso y popular. Fuimos bronceado y nadando en el mar. Para almuezo, nosotros fuimos al restaraunte Heladeria Necochea. Era lo muy bueno. Te recomiedo que tu comprar un sandwich o un hamberguesa. Era delicioso! Tiene lo muchos dulces, helado, y chocolate!!! Despues almuerzo, tomemos un taxi al aeropuerto!

... de ces vieilles bagnoles increvables. :) Après ça la ville en elle-même était quasi-déserte. La saison était passée, plus de la moitié des magasins étaient fermés, personne dans les rues, c'était vraiment étrange. Et il n'y a rien à y faire à part la plage, mais elle est couverte de parasols privés pour lesquels il faut payer, enfin rien de bien intéressant. J'ai aussi passé une demie-journée à chercher des cartes postales sans rien trouver. Tout ça ...

... sur la france et sur mon voyage. Carolina aussi est sympa mais c'est une pile electrique, elle ne tient pas en place... ca a un avantage, en 4 jours elle m'emmenera dans beaucoup d'endroits et me presentera a bon nombre de ses ami(e)s. Des le premier jour, nous partons passer le WE dans la maison de campagne de l'une d'elles. Grosse fete pendant 2 jours, barbecue en veux-tu en voila, je re-apprend a faire des bracelets bresiliens entre autres ...

5. december: Hurra for Sankt Niklas (aka Sinterklaas, Snieklaas, Sint Niklaas, De Sint osv osv) Og der var vi paa plass i Mar del Plata, en storby med mange lokkende aktiviteter! En slags blanding av Ibiza, Malaga og Molde. Klatring, kiting, surfing og sjoloever paa pirene! Sjoeloevene lukta saa godt at vi nesten kunne kjenne dem inn paa hotellrommet! He he.. Stinki - stinky! Da vi var ...

... on the beach walk which have nice and amazing view while eating. I stayed at Hotel Pergamino for 25 ARS. The reception is the most wonderful woman who gives out a lot of tourist information for free. The rooms are mixed with shared bathroom and definitely worth the stay. I took the overnight bus to Puerto Merydin to watch the penguin colony.

Hmmm, Mar del Plata wasn´t exactly what I expected. It was recommended by Melissa in Puerto Madryn as a beach resort to break up the journey to Buenos Aires. I thought golden beaches, cafes by the coast... It actually turned out to be Argentina´s Costa del Sol - massive beaches of regimented beach huts with a few leather-skinned retired folk on deck chairs. It also wasn´t that busy, it still a month ahead of peak season and a bit windy. Well, very windy ...

We had another very lazy morning. We slept very late and then went down to the pool to have some lunch and Boo had a swim. Boo and I took a quick walk over to Alem street, but decided that it wasn't our cup of tea, so we just looked around for a few minutes then went back to the hotel. Because Boo is a flower girl, we had to get her ready early so that she could get to the beach club early for the ...

... I wanted to add and it comes from the menu in the lovely little restaurant where we ate last night and is perhaps the only place where the English menu was harder to understand than the Spanish. Among our choice of delights was the following: Guts cooked in Spanish style Soft cow meat sheet unboned chicken in oven Houses jewelrys. I had salad. The other delight was watching massive seals on the port area where an armada of brilliant orange fishing boats were ...
