The ONE Thing I Forgot to Pack....

..... BUG SPRAY!!!!!!!!!


The mosquitoes in Rosario are EVERYWHERE!!! I have NEVER seen so many in my life! And they found me to be a very tasty American dish :-/ I slept in my clothes with a sheet over my head, but they attacked my ankles - looks like small pox :-(
They TELL me there is no dengue fever in Rosario... perhaps I will be the first case and they will call it "Gringa Fever"

"Rosario or Bust"

I love the Argentinean gas stations/rest stops – they are like little mini-malls in the middle of nowhere. Some bathrooms are cleaner than others, but many are surprisingly cleaner than those in the States. For a peso (about $0.27), the gas pump guys will scrub the dead bugs off the windshield, and you can have café and pastries inside, at the Argentinean version of Starbucks. There are usually a few fat lazy dogs sleeping outside the store, and occasionally they lift their heads when you step over them.


After lunch in B.A., we are off for a weekend trip to Cordoba. Our first stop is Rosario – the half way point between B.A. and Cordoba. Tonight, we’ll meet up with friends for dinner (probably at 1:00am... when I'm more tired than hungry!)
