Holiday Inn Rosario, Argentina

... it was not a good idea to have blonde hair and try get your hair coloured in South America for obvious reasons. Therefore i decided to do it myself with help from "The Zohan" (davy) ha. I hope whoever is reading this will understand that and have seen the movie "You Don´t mess with the Zohan" with Adam Sandler. Anyhow it turned out ok better than it was anyhow.

Before going to Rosario we decided not to book anywhere to stay why i dont know. We found a place in the lonely planet that was cheap and cheerful, well thats what they said. The guy behind the desk of this hotel told us we had a very spacious room and it even had a bath. When i heard bath i was so happy i hadnt had ...

... running, but stopped next to the dumpster. A man was going over to the dumpster to pick something up and add to the car. Not seen in many places in Michigan, so somewhat strange. What was STRANGER was the fact that they were taking the bundle on their back, climbing to the top of the absolute mountain of bundled trash on top of the car, and strapping it on. Mountain?-- you might wonder. Never in my days have I ever wanted a ...

... ice skating. It´s judged by a man (whose face has been SEVERELY surgically altered) and a drag queen. And it´s strange to watch this particular version of figure skating because the female skaters are normal-sized women. They´re not all 92 pounds-- they´re incredibly large-chested and well-proportioned women. But the skating turns out quite a bit different because the women are normal-sized and their skating partners can´t just toss ...

Hi all, Well Eilis and I are now one week into our six week trip and this is the first travel update so I guess that means that we have been too busy enjoying ourselves to spend time at a computer (its too much like work anyway!). So we started the trip last Friday (18th July) and flew to Reus to visit Olive and Xavi and have a look at Tarragona where we got married almost a year ago (scary how time flies ...

... and dull and bloody expensive too!! Finally I got to the border town and was told that there is only one bus to Argentina and it is not for another five hours!! If I get that bus I will then miss my bus connection in Argentina and have to spend another night in a bus station or on a park bench! So I fork out God knows how much, all this country hopping is playing havoc with my currency converting, and I have to get a taxi from Uruguay to Argentina!!! Nightmare!! So the ...

... Strände! Rosario Day dos: Dachte mir ich laufe mal eben die ganze Küste entlang und gehe zu zwei Beaches die am Ende der Küste sind!War ein Stück...wie mir später von einer einheimischen, verwundert darüber das ich denn ganzen Weg gelaufen bin,gesagt wurde!Ca. 35 km.....tja aufm Rückweg hab ich dann nen Taxi genommen..... Rosario Day tres: In diesem Fluss gibts ne Insel und mir wurde gesagt das der Strand dort um einiges besser ...

... the beach area. Following plenty of scenic snaps around the Uni & after a breakfast of air sandwiches, we went a searching for food. Due to its location, fish tops most menus & La Escauriza was no exception so when in Rome... A ploughmans dinner & a few bottles of Isenbeck later, we literally rolled out the door. I can't emphasise enough how big portions are. Not wishing to break the trend, I snoozed all the way to Victoria which is about 40 Km away in the ...

I stopped off in Rosario on the way back to Rio - but only because I knew it was Che Guevara´s birth place...and because of the whole fascination before and the Lynch link, I thought I´d find a museum etc - nope - just saw the house he was born in, and some monuments etc... ...so if anyone has any money and wants a business opportunity, there you go - open up a Che Guevara museum in his birth town!

... palazzi... quello che lo distingue tra gli altri e' una bandierina minuscola... 2. il monumento alla bandiera: l'unico verso spazio aperto della citta': decisamente imponente rispetto ai monumenti che solitamente si incontrano da queste parti!!! ...anche se un po' fascistello come gusto. speriamo almeno in un buon bife de lomo questa serae domani si riparte per Cordoba.... seconda citta' dell'argentina per estensione... incrociamo le dita!!!
