I got soaked last night in Mar del Plata, and a sore ankle and the beginnings of a cold have made me decide pretty quick to stop in a decent hotel in Necochea.
Not much to report, just had lunch in a restaurant where there didn´t ssem to be a menu, just the owner bustling up and saying "yes, you look like you could do with some paella, its really nice" and me going "ok". before i knew it the whole family came up to have a chat, hear my life story (apparently its weirdly normal to say everything about yourself and you thoughts on life to complete strangers here!) and give me the address of their daughter who has a restaturant in Calafate where I will be heading in a few weeks! anyway, have uploaded some photos and i am off to have a coffee to keep out of the rain and rest ye olde ankle. its been holding up pretty well so far but all the walking is taking its toll.
