Mar de Plata
It was another day where we spend a good deal of time on the internet. I don’t know if we are ever going to be able to get all these photos up. Still we took a few long breaks to enjoy the day as although it is windy, it is late spring here and the weather is gorgeous.
Tonight we headed up to Mar de Plata with Nacho and had dinner with one of his friends. Apart from the port and beautiful views of the city, the highlight was seeing the sites where all the protests that took place during the Summit of the Americas a few weeks back. There was still quite a bit of damage to some storefronts.
We also got to see the Sheraton Hotel that the U.S. rented out exclusively for Bush and staff. He definitely was at the best hotel in town. We also got to see where Chavez stayed. It rivaled the Sheraton. It’s amazing so many leaders were in this small town. We heard stories of how all the streets had to be closed for the motorcades, etc. It must have been a mess.
We ate dinner at a restaurant that overlooked the sea. While we enjoyed pizza and seafood we watched Boca tie a Chilean futbol team in the Copa Sudamericana in La Boca, Buenos Aires. Nacho was thrilled that Boca didn’t win, as he is a big River Plate fan (their biggest rivals).
Back at the house Tucho was up watching another soccer game. We joined him for a bit before we all headed off to bed.
