Ended up deciding to head to Rosario on the advice of my hostel host.  The hostel I stayed in in Cordoba was run by the nicest couple, felt like staying in a home (which it was!)  The lady gave me some Spanish lessons and we chatted, I spent a decent amount of time in the evening just laying on the couch reading and relaxing.  The other people at the hostel, the ones I went to the Oktoberfest with, came back later and we all just sat around eating delivered pizza and having some beer and wine with the hosts.  Was  a good time and enjoyed spending a night in.

Caught a bus to Rosario and got in in time to walk around a little before it got dark.  This is a large and very nice town with some neat old Spanish looking architecture.  Went and grabbed some pasta with a girl from France that was the only other person there at the time.  Got back and just hung out with a few Portenos that had checked in (guys for Buenos Aires), and called it an early night. 

Wanted to get a early start so got up at 8AM, about the earliest I have been up since I started since people rarely go to sleep until early morning here.  Am at the bus stop now hanging out because the first bus to Buenos Aires that was not full is at 11.  It is a 4 hour trip and then I plan to splurge on the fast but to Montevideo, Uruguay to be there by 5PM or so I hope.  So, with any luck, next update will be from a different county, Hopefully I will not get a few miles away this time and turn around like I did with Chile, will never make 100 countries doing that all the time!  This will be my last long travel day this trip (4 hours on a bus, 2.5 on a ferry).  I do plan to take the slow boat back from Uruguay to Buenos Aires, but that will be site seeing not travel, since it goes through the river delta and is supposed to be a very pretty trip.

Having no luck finding a computer that will recognize my camera, so sorry, no pictures again for now.
