Greetings one and all!
After giving the Isreali guy the slip once again (did I mention I've bumped into himn 3 times already?) I headed southward towards Buenos Aires, the capital of Argentina. However, the journey from Peurto Igacu (the Argentinian side of the Igacu falls) to Buenos Aires is around 30 hours so I decided to break this up with a stop in Argentina's third largest city Rosario.
Rosario is a university town side next to the Parana river and is also the birthplace of none other than Ernesto 'Che' Guevara. A brief look at Che's home however, showed us that the man may not be as popular here as he is back in Europe - his birthplace is now an insurance company and bears no plaque or mark detailing its previous famous occupant. Che does however have a mural in a nearby square but a brief chat (in my limited Spanish) with some locals told me that they would rather this wasn't there.
As well as Che the town also boasts the cript of a famous flag designer (I wonder what one studies to have this profession...), who presumably designed the Argentinian flag. Took a 'couple' of photos and will upload them when i get a chance (you lucky lucky people!).
Oo, almost forgot to mention - this town is full of beautiful women! And no joke, there are loads of absolute stunners here! A girl in club told me the town is famous for them, if only i could speak spanish.....
Next stop Montevideo - the capital with the world's stupidist name - in Uruguay.
