Day 9 - January 6, 2013

Today was a free day to roam around Rosario. As it is Sunday, most of the shops and attractions are closed so that leaves time for outside activities. Some students went on a long journey to find a beach. After a long walk and no sunscreen they also found some pretty good sunburns as well...aloe anyone? But they said it was worth it to be able to see more of the town. Others went to find a local park, it didn't take very long because it wasn't very big, but at least they said it was pretty.

In the evening half of the group went to a great restaurant recommended by some of the locals, it is called McDonalds. Because this is the first tourist-type town, it was the first American eatery we have found so needless to say several people jumped at the chance.

Rosario is a large city that was clearly built in the 1800s. Even though several of the buildings have modern shops on the first floor, the second and third floors have beautiful detail and architecture.

Tomorrow will be a very busy day, are visiting the shipping port, a machinery manufacturer, and also a large research feedlot, then we will move onto the next town. As always we will keep you updated.
