Pringles Apart Hotel Rosario

... set of the sweet 15's photo shoots. There were horse carriages, limos, or at very least cars with huge bows and ribbons on their roofs (yes, sweet fifteen, not weddings). The girls are traditionally given a formal party with 100+ guests invited. Although, in recent times they now have an option of this party, a trip to Disneyland or plastic surgery - good times. The party choosers congregate on a Saturday night to the central ...

... and then he got in his car, put it in reverse, reversed the car until it hit the 2nd car. All the while, Sammie and I just sat there watching him, never having seen anything like this before. He noticed us, rolled down his passenger-side window, looked at us and said (in Spanish), ¨I drink milk!¨ and drove away. All in all, it was weird. 4.This is a short one. I was by myself for this one, actually, and I was walking to the ...

... between classes, I´ll probably always be at Tae Bo. The teacher, Sebastian, is really nice, like I´ve said before, and he remembers me every time he sees me, even outside of class (like on the street!). And I thought he was gay, but I just saw him the other day with his 1 1/2-year-old daughter and a wedding ring. I think he´s very straight and very married now. So a while ago I posted a picture of graffiti ...

... good. And Francisco talks and laughs the whole time. I can tell they enjoy having U.S. students stay with them, and I´m the sixth one they´ve had. Which is good, because they know the routine. They know exactly what I should and shouldn´t be doing, and exactly what they should and shouldn´t be doing for me. They never allow me to clean up after myself at the dinner table-- NEVER. I continue to try, but they don´t let me. But I´ll ...

... veggies. And then papas fritas (French fries) and then dessert. My stomach´s going to be ful full full for the entire time I´m in Argentina. It´s really cold here, and I´m glad I brought my coat, hat, mittens, and scarf. This morning it was 2.9 degrees Celsius (which is about 37 degrees Fahrenheit), and I walked to church (there´s one Lutheran church here, and the rest are all Catholic). The service was very short, about 30 min. long, and ...

... player, and sometimes, clothes washing facilities (by that, I mean a washboard sink). Hot water in the bathrooms (outside of Argentina) is a plus, and often as not, the shower water is heated electrically. By that I mean there is an electric business there by the showerhead, and somehow or other, it heats the water coming out of the shower head. (I just don't want to go there, and I cringe to think about the electricity and water ...

... wie so vieles hier in Argentinien, und lassen sich 160 Grad nach hinten drehen und dann haste da noch nen Teil für die Fuesse...kannst also sehr gut schlafen! Angeblich soll es wohl ein Problem gewesen sein ein Hostel in Rosario zu bekommen wie mir ein paar andere Traveler in Buenos Aires gesagt haben...gut dachte ich mir schau ich im Internet mal nach,und siehe da gleich eins gefunden reserviert...eine Bestätigung bekommen und ...

... drive but looks deceptively small on the map & we were bombing it. A word of warning for those going backpacking around latin america, always carry 1 unit of bog roll with you. When they say cleanliness is next to godliness, Arg must have converted to Buddhism. It was 23C on arrival & I could feel that icky tshirt glued to my back feeling exiting the car. The first thing we were confronted with was El Monumento Nacional a la Bandera (the flag monument). It's fairly ...

... came to tucuman. not lots to do here, really only a stop off on the way to cafayate. gonna see if we can find soemwhere to get a mani-pedi and pamper ourselves a bit. the weather is feckin miserable, its like an irish summer. warm enough but every other day is grey and its rains about once every 3 days. apparently this is not normal for this time of year. so, thoughts on south america so far. i can see why people say brazilian women are good ...

... a whole new adventure being back in my home country. Leaving Rosario after living there for so long wasn't that hard even though my time here has been fantastic. It's a great city and the friends I've made there will make me want to come back in the future. So... I said my goodbyes to everyone, hugged the dogs at my pension one last time and walked out the door to begin another adventure on the road. First stop... Buenos Aires.
