Flag of Argentina  ,
Friday, March 7, 2008

I am on my way to Puerto Madryn in an hour, for a long night bus journey but buses are good in Argentina, so i hope i will sleep well.
I spent the day in Mar del Plata today it is a nice town but it was rainning almost all day, i was complaining about the weather changing all the time before, well i take back everything i have said before, Argentina is THE number one for this, going from raining heavily to beautiful sunshine about 20 times a day. A part from that i did a little tour that i found by chance while wondering plaza Colon, the guide was really good with me, he kept speaking to me, maybe he felt sorry for me in some way, and he showed me some sea lions, so so funny, the first time i saw some, i was really happy, and we went to see a statue of the virgen Mary, which is here the equivalent of Lourdes in France. The water running under her is collected by  people hoping to cure their illnesses. The statue is much smaller than the one in France, but it is still very popular.
