Our weekend in Rosario also included a short jaunt to the
beach. Before the end of the boardwalk, I was already sweating and my plan to
attempt homework on the beach was a failed one. But it seemed that by the time
we arrived and sat for 20 minutes, it was already time to leave, even though it
had been 3 hours…is time already going by that quickly?
We were dropped off in the city where we had just over an
hour to enjoy ourselves. We attempted to find a feria, but we’d already visited the one we were nearest to and the
next location was too far of a walk. But alas, we kept walking and encountered
some great sights. We realized we needed to eat lunch and settled for a
somewhat seedy looking place on the water. Olivia was dying for some fresh
seafood and was thusly somewhat startled to see a GIGANTIC fried fillet of who
knows what arrive as her milanesa de
pescado. You want seafood? Well, here’s a mountain of it…
We had about 30 minutes to eat and walk back to the bus stop
so we ate everything in 3 bites and ran back to our meeting place for the bus.
We arrived sweating and hoping we hadn’t been left only to find that it would
be an additional 20 minutes before the bus even showed up. HURRY UP AND RUN
FASTER OR ELSE WE’RE GONNA MISS THE BU—it’s not here yet.
Angela and I enjoyed ourselves on the brink of exhaustion
and crazy when we hit a huge traffic jam coming into the city. My iPod was
dead, so we started singing, “aaaall that she wants is another bay-beh she’s
gon’ tomorrow and aaaall that she wants is another bay-beh ye-ehhhhhhh” which
happened to be playing on the radio blaring on the bus.
And that was our excursion to Rosario. Just enough time to
say we went, but not enough time to actually say much else about it,
unfortunately. Imagine a more tranquil, Parisian architecture-ized version of
Buenos Aires filled with sudden parks and statues everywhere and that’s the
basic idea. I wish I’d had more time…
