Please don´t go!

The Lonely Planet claims Rosario is possibly the best city in Argentina. The Guide de Routard (we´re giving the french guide book a try thanks to Maria´s cultured influence) doesn´t mention the place. For once the French are right.

Rosario

Our first warning was the American girl who stopped to talk to us in the street when she heard us speaking English. She´d been studying in Rosario for the past few months and really loved the place. So we asked her what should we do while we were there. She couldn´t think of a single suggestion. We then went to the tourist office to ask what activities there were to do. The tourist office woman was very nice and told us that everything was very good. But couldn´t tell us what exactly was very good.

After checking out the extremely large Argentine flag and monument we had a look at the large and dirty looking Rio Parana. Then we tried to visit some museums. But they were all closed. We took a taxi out to the beaches along the river and they were all empty. Determined to give Rosario one last chance we went on a city bike tour. Brian´s chain fell off and Maria´s pedal fell off.
