Day trip to Tigre Delta

Best deal in town. McCafes. They are a separate part of McDonalds. Fancy. Coffee served with a cookie, and either sparkling or plain water. $1.75. Most coffee is served this way, usually espresso, but we order Cafe Americano Negro, so they add extra hot water to the espresso. The water is a great addition, as you clens the pallet after drinking it.

Motorcycle impound lot. Brent's is the red one in the middle.....

Our next ride for holidays! $100,000 camper.

Train Station. Just like Europe

Water Taxi

Canal Our rooftop pool

Pumped up with anticipation and feeling like we had to see more of the area before we leave Buenos Aires, we decided to take a commuter train to the holiday destination of Tigre. It is an area developed in the late 1800 heyday of the rich Buenos Aries elite. There is a large market there, an amusement park, and restaurants. The area is surrounded by canals where the elite built summer homes and a boat ride through the canals should prove interesting.

For $1.30 each, we hopped the train and took the hour ride out to the area. We were excited to hop on the water taxis to tour the canals, but were disappointed to hear that the water levels were too low, and the taxis were not running. I guess the lack of rain has effected the public transport system up there. So, we decided to go to the market. Brent bought a new muggers wallet for $3.00, genuine leather! He plans to reload it with his extra "your name here" credit cards and a little cash.

We are getting ready to leave our fancy pancy apartment tomorrow and catch the overnight bus north to a place called Iguazu Falls. It is on the border of Paraguay, Brazil and Argentina and it takes about 17 hours on the bus. We have booked first class on a double decker bus, and has hot meal service and private seats that fold out flat to a bed. Seems like the way to travel in the country, if one has time.
