#2 hitchhiking failed. It was raining and we ended up giving up after 2
hours in a gas station and took a bus that arrived in Rosario at 10pm. First
impression was quite good: the terminal´s architecture is very nice, people
(family who received us) very very nice; and people are more beautiful (Rosario
is considered the city with the most beautiful women, fact which proved to be
true in the daylight walking around the center).
We stayed with an artisan’s family and they were so friendly that we actually felt part of it. It was a key step for us in terms of getting an Argentinean culture insight. They gave us a lot of information of artists, literature, history and more important, the opportunity to live in another reality.
Rosario is a nice city, we visited Monumento de la Bandera and Monumento
de la Memoria (about rosalinos that disappeared during the dictatorship – we
actually met and talked to a women that was 4 years in jail for political
reasons and we realized how the all 50-60 years generation is /was affected by
this sad chapter of Argentean history).
On Friday, 21st was the day of Primavera and also the student day, which means that students do not have classes and we were blessed with a sunny day when we could enjoy the first day of spring in the parks of the city and the coast of the Paraná River.
