Rosario: Argentina

Devon and I decided to go to Rosario on a whim. We went to the city with one small piece of information; Rosario was full of beautiful people, namely Argentine women. I guess this was most definitely the most important aspect of Rosario, because I asked our taxi driver what the best part of Rosario was, and he responded. Hay Muchos Babies!! This was obviously implying there were many beautiful chicas, ladies, or babies there.

I am about 67% sure a Devon and I are being followed by a large rain cloud because minutes into our arrival in Rosario it started straight up down pouring.

The rain rain did not go away and it stayed around for another day so Devon and I watched a lot of movies and spent a lot of time with a large group of Israelis’ staying in our hostel. We <3 Israelis.

After two days of rain filled nothingness we were finally treated with nice weather, so Devon and I decided to do something fun and different to occupy our day. We went on an Urban Scavenger Hunt.

I’m sure you’re just dying to know what an Urban Scavenger Hunt is… don’t you even worry… I am going to explain it to you right now.

Devon and I pick out a thing we want to see. Then we walk around until we find it.

Our first stop on our Amazing Urban Scavenger Hunt was a park…

So we walked to a park, here is a picture.

Our next stop was the house in which Che Guevara was birthed, before arriving to the house, we broke a huge rule of Urban Scavenger Hunting and we took a detour and stopped in a place called El Palacio de Oportunidades, The Palace of Opportunities. We bought two bottles of lotion, and a towel, for great prices. Since I started using the opportunities palace lotion my skin has peeled more than it did without proper after shower mosturization, and the towel leaves little blue towel pellets all over my skin when I try to use it to dry myself. El Palacio de Oportunidades fue una mentira. It is neither a palace nor a place of good opportunity.

Anyways we finally made it to Che’s House… that was neat. It was white house with a sign next to it saying. Che was born here. Other than that sign the house had nothing to offer… people were not allowed to enter. So I snapped a photo and we continued on our adventure.

Our Next stop was the bus station.

So we walked there.

Next we tried to go to a park but I took a wrong turn so we went to a mall, we walked around the mall for a while, then decided to try to go to the park.

Logically, the next place we went was the park. We walked around there for a while and it was nice.

Next we walked to a grocery store and bought some food for lunch.

Our intense hunt was quite taxing physically, so we took a break and ate lunch at 6pm.

After getting proper nourishment, we went to the Flag Monument, and there ended our Urban Scavenger Hunt.

I know you are all probably thinking, that sounds like the most exciting thing ever. I am sure that right now you are squirming around in your chair, couch, or other sitting device planning out how you are going to go on you own Urban Scavenger Hunt. Before you make too many plans, I want you to know that Urban Scavenger Hunting is not an easy thing to do. It requires a lot of walking and the excitement of going on a true Urban Scavenger Hunt usually causes people to stray from it’s true meaning… to walk around and find things. So only go on an Urban Scavenger Hunt.

Also, as far as the Muchos Babies… they must have been hiding. Maybe they are scared of the rain and Americans on intense Urban Scavenger Hunts.

That is it and that is all!
